ibigawa marathon

I am a marathon runner. my training has paid off! i had a personal best! i shaved 11 minutes off my best time. (my previous best time was 3 years ago-columbus marathon- at 4:26) well say hello to a speedy 4 hours and 15 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH! no walking. no pain. no lack of energy! i felt great. i finished strong and even had minimal pain after the finish. even monday and tuesday, i was up jumping and playing with the little kids.

so today i was back to running. i ran an easy 4 miles and felt great. i actually was having pains frm not exercizing for 3 days!

so back to training. 3 months till the tokyo marathon. 1 week till nagoya 10km.

the week is almost over! yes!

i love the post man. the same one keeps delievering our packages, and i have had the honor or answering the door. he's about 65, he smiles real big when the door opens, and says "hi! Good morning!" (in english) smiles. then he fumbles around for the pen for me to sign. then after he is finished, he jollily says "goodbye!"

ok off to wash the dishes!
