Deja vu?

This time the Toyota 10K 2009 is full. Maybe it's a sign.

It's full!

What the... My group may have been late in applying as the Nagoya City Marathon 2009 reached its full capacity. Almost 3 months ahead which is kinda weird coz last year applications were accepted up until the very last day before the event. I saw the ad. Anyway, I'm out! So, a half-marathon run will have to wait.

Well done Eddie!

Who would imagine a once high-heeled wearer comedian would achieve such heights of 43 marathons in 52 days? And he did it all for the sake of charity, Sports Relief. I must admit, that’s powerful! But there were some skeptics saying a 10-hour run doesn’t count as a marathon because it is almost like walking pace. With very lil prep time, Izzard, did well. Actually, he got better and sped up to a decent 5-hour per marathon towards the end. I bet it was both mentality and physically gruelling. But tremendous work, indeed Eddie. You’re a legend! Even the dubbed ultra-marathoner, Dean Karnazes, who once ran 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days in the US, would be proud of you.

Nagoya City Marathon 2009

Yep, I've applied. Sort of coz I didn't actually fill out a form nor pay for the entry fee. But I'm running with a group this time and I've signed up my name for the Half-Marathon. Wish me luck!

Toyota 10K 2009

It's on again and maybe I'll join. But I'm kinda thinking about the timing.

Nagoya City Marathon 2009 - Application OPEN

The Nagoya City Marathon 2009 will be held on 23rd Nov. 2009. It consists of 3 main races: 4km, 10km and half-marathon. Therefore don’t get confused when J-peeps describe the different races as marathons. Still, it’s all good! It’ll give me some motivation and also, it’s a good practice for the Tokyo Marathon 2010, if I get selected. If not, I’ll probably take my chance and apply for the Nagano Marathon 2010 which will be held in April. Anyway, The Nagoya City Marathon 2009 application ends soon. So hurry!

TM10

Yep, call me crazy or what but I wanna to do it all over again. Tokyo Marathon 2010 application is, in fact, now closed. It ended yesterday! But just to tell the world know that I have applied and will try my luck again to get picked. Meanwhile, I need to go back to training and try and hit a 20-mile run weekly. がんばります!
