Newspapers saying the end of Heisei era and start of Reiwa 1st of May 2019.
My first marathon was 2007 1st Tokyo Marathon it was 2-3 degrees with heavy rain in Feburary, 2007. It was Tokyo marathon before becoming world majors as of today.
Most of my PB was in Tokyo marathon such as in 2007, 2014. It took me 8 marathons to achieve sub 3 in Kobe marathon 2015 and Beppu Oita marathon 2016. Actually Beppu Oita was my attempt to sub 2:50 which was fine until passing 30km in 2:00 with 4 mins pace per km. I was feeling ok with relaxing mentaly and physically. However cramp stopped my race. Let's stop cramp, not the race. ;)
Now I've completed 17 marathons so far. My goal is 6 marjors with doing my best performance in every marathons. Honestly speaking I am quite sutisfied with completing Tokyo and 3 marathons in the U.S. with Chicago2016, Boston2017, NewYork2018. There is no easy marathon. It's not only about running 42.195Km distance. It's about the whole project journey from start to the end of every marathon.
With this, four of six completed. Berlin and London to complete 6 majors.
Again it is not only about running and it is about finding more insights through running in different place in the world. That is the beauty of enjoy running globally.
