Hello everyone! ?Anand here as always. ?I am not sure when this blog transitioned from one about English to one about running, ?but I hope you are enjoying it anyway. ?On that note, this blog is about running as always. ?My coworkers and I will be running an full marathon in Honolulu, but since it has been 2 years since I ran a full marathon, I was a little leery about the whole thing. ?So I decided that I would put in a practice marathon. ?According to my friends, that is the idea of a crazy person. ?In retrospect, they are probably right.

Anyway, my marathon of choice was the Fuji-san marathon which follows Kawaguchi-ko, a beautiful river with a great view of Fuji. ?I took the first train from Yokohama to Kawaguchi-ko station to be greeted by a beautiful view of the ocean (along with some very cold air). ?It was much colder than I had anticipated and my only hope was that running would keep me warm in my shorts and t-shirt.

I seem to have very little luck when it comes to arriving on time for these runs, as I basically only had time to check in, drop off my luggage and then start running.

With another marathon in 2 weeks I decided to take this one pretty easy. ?It was also a beautiful day with many great views of Mt. Fuji, so I took along my camera and snapped a shot whenever I got the chance. ?As a result my time wasn’t the best, but I had a good time anyway. ?And perhaps as an added bonus, although it is only a day after the race, I basically feel fine. ?I mean, I don’t think I would run another marathon today, but I think I will be fine in 2 weeks.

That said, I was kinda dying about 37 kilometers in.

Anyway, I feel much better knowing that a full marathon is doable as long as I just keep focused. ?I just hope I can beat my other co-workers!

Anyway, talk with you next week!
