Right when we moved to Japan and had to make the decision on whether to sign up for the 10K or the Marathon. I signed up for the 10K and then regretted it. I started training for the marathon thinking I would just keep running (really those Japanese would not kick me off the race course would they). I made it through the training until 18 miles when my IT Band started giving me issues. I decided maybe it was best to just do the 10K portion.
My friend Tracy was running the marathon and I ran with her for 11 miles. We had such a great time running through Tokyo and taking in all the sights. It was hard to jump off the course and wish her well. She did awesome though!
Many of us from Atsugi ran both distances. It was a great race and I can't wait to do the full marathon next year.

Heather--What a thrill it must have been to run through the streets of Tokyo!
The Mosiers are very excited that you are planning on coming for a visit this summer. Jon is already talking about upcoming concert in the park get togethers!
I am playing nurse today. Ellie broke her arm at Island Tumble yesterday. I think she is enjoying the attention though!
