Hello Everyone,

I hope you are well and are enjoying life.

Recently I participated in the Kyoto marathon. I have been training for the run for about 2months. Every week I ran over 40km, working towards my goal of 3hours 30minutes.

The day of the race was beautiful. The sun was shinning and everyone was excited. I started the run strong passing many people through the streets of kyoto. I saw many street performances and heard an excessive amount of 頑張れand Fighto along the way.

Around the10km mark I realised I had not trained enough haha, and by the 25km i was being passed by old woman. But, I continued untill the end. My final time was 3`59...I didnt reach my goal but the marathon was another great Japanese experience :)

My next marathon is in North Korea in April. If you see me on the News please send for help ;)
