Hundreds of joggers in Berlin took part in a traditional annual race known as the "Roast Goose Digestion Run" on Saturday to burn off those extra pounds put on over the Christmas holidays.  The road race takes place each year on December 26, organised by the Sports Club Charlottenburg.  Runners of all ages jogged the 10 kilometres through the city's Grunewald forest before they enjoyed a cup of mulled wine and one or two Christmas cookies outside a wooden hut in the woods.  Traditionally, many Germans eat a very filling and rich roast goose at Christmas, accompanied by dumplings and red cabbage, or 'Knoedel" and use the race to lose a few extra pounds.
