One who is also looking for a sub 2:30 is Sonja Oberem. She had originally ended her career when finishing 2:26:53 for third place in Berlin two years ago. After giving birth the 33 year-old now decided to go for a comeback and will run her first marathon after the break in Berlin. \u201cWhen I resumed training in February it had already been a dream to be ready for the real,- BERLIN-MARATHON. Now I am happy that it worked. It would be great to break 2:30\u201d, Sonja Oberem said. She has a personal best of 2:26:13 and has placed eighth in the Olympic Marathon in 1996. Additionally she was fifth at the World Championships in 2001.<\/p>\n
