This is the one

This picture was taken at last year's Tokyo Marathon.

I declare: Tokyo Marathon 2010 will be my best marathon ever! I'm determined to make this one go in the record books. I'm ready to make this marathon the one I can brag about. You know, the one where I run it in 4 hours and 30 minutes and don't have kooter issues. The one where people say,

"Wow, you ran a marathon in 4 hours and 30 minutes even though you have bunk ass lungs?! Quite impressive!"

Yes, this will be the one. Mark my words, I will succeed this time or die trying!



And in preparation for the big day, February 28, 2010, I will do my best to train under the harshest conditions. That way, I will be prepared for whatever is thrown my way. Hail, wind, ice, snow, menstrual cramps...bring it on! This year I won't let a little thing like 50 mile per hour winds, sideways rain, or menstrual cramps bring me down. No, this year I will prevail.



So, let the marathon training begin!
