A Marathon in Japan
Mood:  energetic
I can't believe it, but i have signed up for the Nagano Marathon on April 17th, 2005. The run takes us through some scenic country. It looks like we will be running along rivers for much of the way. There will be some very famous runners in this marathon (maximum of 6,000 runners) AND.... WE WILL FINISH IN THE OLYMPIC STADIUM. Oh, my gosh, i can't believe it! How's that for some motivation to get my rear in gear and speed up the pace? I have to finish in less than 5 hours but it's a flat course and the altitude, surprisingly, is only between 1,100 and 1,300 feet. I should be able to do that.
