WHY? Running mainly to keep from getting Fat... me no like...on myself...Twas just a small hobby...but it has morphed to my main interaction with Japanese people who treat me as a Runner not as a "foreigner"... it is much harder to find a niche in Japan than say in Russia where I lived prior...Plus the insanity of the distance intrigues me. I did my first Marathon in Sasayama... a town about as old as Kyoto but much smaller.... 42.2 seemed like forever then..now it seems normal... half-marathons are easy now... not sure.. guess as I get older I would rather be ok at one thing then terrible and many...which I was in my youth...I'm still terrible at many things but I like to run and drink. The last 10k of my 100km I listened to an audiobook...helped me to forget the blisters I had been running on for two hours...
