Full marathon again
It was held under clear sky with warm air.
The course was along the river called ARAKAWA river to the Tokyo Sky Tree, 42.195 Km.
Approximately 17,000 people gathered to run.
So I went through the start gate 18 min behind the front runners.
The course was flat and easy to run ...... until 30 km.
After 30 km, my right calf muscles were getting weak and I felt pain there.
But I continued to run to the 35 km aid station with low speed.
After that another myself started to whisper "stop and walk,stop and walk".
Wow the bad time had came, I thought.
I needed to fight against another myself and the calf pain.
Last 2 km was worst, I had repeated to run and walk.
But finally ,I made it. I went through the goal gate with the time of 5 hours 34 minutes.
It was very hard for me to run the full marathon.
Next time ? Not soon but I will !

Full marathon
My D day was over.
I have to tell the truth...........that I was failed to finish 42.195 km.
It was unusually clear day, no clouds at all, the best day to run.
At 9 am, the 16,000 runners started running.
There was the long line to run through the start-gate.
Due to the long line, it took more than 10 minutes for the runners at the end of line to run through the gate.
At the same time, the time-counter (6 hours) to stop closing the road started count down.
They considered nothing that there was the extra time for the runners at the end of line, comparing to the runners at the top of the line.
This means they need to run faster than the runners at the top of line by approximately 10 minutes more.
In addition to the 6 hours at the finish-gate, there were the 5 gates to stop the runners who failed to pass through within a time set by the organizer.
So, I , as a runner at the end of line, was failed to pass through the 3rd gate ( 3 hours 18 minutes was the time you need to pass through within)
The 3rd gate was 30 km away from the start-gate. My time was 2 minutes longer (3 hours 20 minutes ).
If they subtracted only 10 minutes from my time, I could pass through the gates.
But the result was the result. I don't want to say more.
I hope I could run faster next time.

D day is around the corner.
My D day (the day to run full marathon) is around the corner.
On 24th, November, I am going to run around the lake Kawaguchiko and saiko.
It will be my first full marathon.
Trial run, 41.5 km was 5 hours and 48 minutes.
I need to run faster in order to clear the limit ( 6 hours).
I can not say what will happen to my body but I will do my best !

It is called Man-Yi this time.
The season's 18th typhoon.
The agency issued flood, mudslide and heavy rain and wave warnings for areas along the Pacific coast.

Cruel hot summer has begun
The temperature in Kofu city, Yamanashi pref. was 39.2 ℃
Even Tokyo's temperature was 35.2 ℃.
This climate phenomenon seems to be about 2 weeks earlier than typical year.
You need definitely an air conditioner here to avoid heated air outside.
