Running Log: Week 12

I caught a ferry on Saturday to Iheya for my first race of my running season. It was pouring rain in the morning but let up before the race started. Poseidon must have been pleased with my goat sacrifice.

The race went great. I got a PR out of it, and it's weird to think that a couple of weeks ago I wanted to quit. Looking over last year's logs I realized I experienced the same thing last year. I guess my body has hit a second wind. I hope it lasts until Kawaguchiko. We'll see how my 32k run this coming Saturday goes.

In other news, I've been accepted to run the Tokyo Marathon next February. I have until Oct. 31 to decide whether or not I want to do it.

6 weeks to marathon.
