Tokyo Marathon

Time is a runner.
As he ages his speed increases
and with such ease the moments fly by.
Until with the finish point in sight,
he breathes a sign of relief as he passes the line,
to ponder the steps that flown underfoot

My Reuters marathon will finally come to an end after a ten year course. One that has had its hill climbs and straights. The odd obstacle in the way. Yet never did I take a taxi or the easy route. 25th May is the last day. Very soon afterwards I start my next assignment.
So between now and end of May I should try to get fit. Will I be ready for the next Tokyo marathon ? I doubt it but I can at least dream

It’s back – probably. Sunday, February 17th, 2008. Though the site mentions that the Tokyo Marathon committee has yet to actually confirm the date.

However, they’ve commissioned a much improved course map for next year ( even if it is the same route ) which just goes to show.. something.
So .. who is up for it this time ?
