Marathon Pictures

Okay, it's been 3 days since the marathon and we are both feeling pretty good - not to mention not waddling any more! Here are some pics :)

Pre-race photo of the girls. There were actually 32 of us from our running club that went.

Where but Tokyo do you have to take a subway to the starting line???

Running with a few other people (25000). Did I mention it was raining? We all looked really sexy in our ponchos! Note, the starting line is nowhere in sight from this point. It took 12 mins to get there.

One of the shrines along the way.

There were drummers on the course for entertainment, but they had to take shelter from the rain.

Post Race calm.

We Finished!

We Finished! I’m happy to report that we both finished the marathon and can still walk :) In spite of the pouring down rain, the marathon went well. There were over 30,000 runners – it was crazy! I took a disposable camera with me and should have the pictures back tomorrow. I’ll post them as soon as possible. Miss you all!

Countdown

15 Days Until the TOKYO MARATHON!!! Me, nervous???? Maybe...no...yes... yep, pretty much. I can't believe that in two weeks we will be trying to run 26 miles - all at once. I plan to run with a camera, so I'll post pictures when we're done :)
