Tokyo Marathon

I’m almost too jelly-like to report. With what is left of my cognitive abilities, I am reminded of The Onion’s calm reporting of the first Apollo moon landing.

For those that haven’t read this celebrated study in objectivity, here it is …

I feel exactly like that. Replace “man lands on moon” with “Paul ran 15Km” and the report is otherwise word perfect.

The Onion article, by the way, is from the book Our Dumb Century which is highly recommended. It is the perfect toilet tome. Add it to your loo’s library. It will look very dapper alongside the … washbasin. Put it next to the Calvin and Hobbes, maybe among Graham Rye’s The James Bond Girls and Steven Fry’s Paperweight and retire to some worthy diversion.

Statistics …

positivometer : 8
Km since last blog : 15, yes thats fifteen
Total Km : 108

I love my watch but it was hopeless by the way: can’t read the stopwatch in the dark. Fortunately though, it was possible to time my run by careful observation of the trees’ reacting to the change of season.
