Tokyo Marathon

Read this somewhere but cant find the link (if indeed it was online) .. anyway, apparently a few new rules for the 2008 Tokyo Marathon :

• no swords
• no kimono
• no holding hands

On the last point there will be no leniency : offenders will be disqualified immediately.

( I’m afraid you can’t wear this, Joe )

Ancient news but worth a recap .. a foreigner-friendly roundup of the 2007 run

Not directly running-related but someone who helped me ( and many others ) get off the couch, Sheldon Brown, sadly died last night.

He was a unique and funny man who shared his knowledge freely. Sad news.

Two weeks to go and the field has narrowed to just Joe. Time for a look back at February last year ..

And good luck Joe !
