Tokyo Marathon

"What faster way to see the world but by running a marathon"



Next year i am will be competing in the Tokyo marathon. Its decision that I didn't reach without weighing the cost of what it is i will be putting my myself through.

I have always loved sport and this will be a way of combining the two things I love the most, travel and extreme exercise.




It is not easy! In fact its painful! on most days I am far from being motivated to get up each morning between 3:30 and 5am to go running. I have to coax myself and remind thyself that this marathon will not run itself and im proud of myself when i do go the distance when everything in me is screaming no stop.

I have even taken on this rather insane habit of yelling quite loudly in the streets, "You Will Finish This!!!!!!!!!'


If there;s one comforting thing at least in Tokyo you can wear all sorts of fanny running gear!



So stay with me on my marathon journey. Encourage me too!

After Japan I would like to run sight-see marathons in Mexico, and Argentina too.
