<strong>The</strong> two Japanese women Asami Endo and Kazuko Hirota ran through Berlin<br />
as Pokemon twins. “We stayed together for the whole marathon,” said Asami. “All<br />
the people along the course cheered us on, it was overwhelming,” said Kazuko. Together<br />
they crossed the finish line just behind the Brandenburg Gate after 3:39:01<br />
hrs. <strong>The</strong> two friends are experienced marathon runners. <strong>The</strong>y live in a special<br />
marathon city themselves: Tokyo. “We’ve already run there four times, that’s our<br />
home, but Berlin is just great.” Now all they need is Boston to pick up the 6-Star<br />
<strong>Finisher</strong> medal someday.<br />
