15th August - Back to Japan

Summer has arrived in Japan and it's absolutely gorgeous 35 degrees C, humid and clear blue skies, loving it.
The Yokohama pool is open - hooray.


Wow, what an amazing summer.
Welcome back to Yokohama.
Excited to be here for the next year and beyond.
Have selected my training program - Jeff Galloway's walk run.
Surprisingly several of my friends have also signed up to run the Marathon and the 10km event.
We all have to wait until early November to find out if we are in. Over 270,000 people have registered to run. There will be a lottery to select 30,000. Expats do have a chance.
Start training!!!!
NOW

Aug - Thailand - Crazy idea

Whilst in Thailand in this beautiful relaxing place I had this crazy idea.
On the 12th August I signed up for the Tokyo Marathon - yep to run 42 km. It's on 27th Feb 2011.
What me!!!!
I'm not a runner but there's 6 months to train. I have numerous programs and will select the one that best suits me.
For now back to relaxing.
