tokyo marathon....coming right up

yes, my friends. tokyo marathon is this coming sunday. am i ready? not really. am i going to do well? no, probably not. but i am going to try. despite my 2.5 months of training after not exercising for about 6 months before that, i am going to give this my best shot.

friday, hiro i will take the bus up to tokyo. we will meet jim and find some things to keep us entertained. saturday, ill get registered and then spend the day checking out tokyo. sunday, i will be running. this will be my 7th full marathon. wow. monday morning, i will take the shinkansen (bullet train) back home and get to work by 1.

i am so glad there are only 2 more days left of work this week. i am tired of working. i am a little stressed and just worn out. i need a vacation. like a year vacation. or 6 months. but, thats impossible right now. so i will persevere!

at least the weather has been getting warmer. thats a nice change. i am looking forward to spring. cherry blossoms. being outside. not being cold.
