東京でのマラソン・陸上・駅伝・・・・・体を鍛えて、環境を守ってエコマラソン

Shinjuku Half Marathon 2009

Today, I ran 10K at Shinjuku half marathon. It started 12:20 and weather was perfect. Sunny and warm, no wind.
We ran 4 laps around Kokuritsu Kyogijou. It was very crowdy at the beginning, but overall, nice course.

My time was 48min.28sec. which is PB. (47th among all women, 24th among ippan josshi.)
I am pretty happy about it since I could break 49mins wall since after Edogawa marathon last Nov...

Next race will be 10K at Saitama on 11th of Feb., and big one, another 10K at Oume marathon.
I will try to get close to 45min. as much as possible till Tokyo Marathon♪

Comment by juergen wittstock on January 27, 2009 at 11:24pm: Subash Shankar, lives in NY and ran with us until about 2006 or 07

Comment by Kiki Tanaka on January 26, 2009 at 9:48pm: Juergen,
Who is Subashu? ...which means, of course, I did not meet him/her(?).

Jay,
Thanks for your compliment. I really enjoyed staying there for whole week. Even in the severe cold weather, I enjoyed going out every moment. It was surely worth flying there. I could see inauguraion over there as well which was really historical event. :)

Comment by juergen wittstock on January 26, 2009 at 4:19pm: Di you meet Subash?

Comment by Jay Johannesen on January 26, 2009 at 4:03pm: Well it was worth braving the NY cold in order to pickup those valuable airline award miles. And you did great at Shinjuku City even dealing with the jet lag. I guess it was too cold to run in Central Park? - Maybe this taper helped you.

Comment by Kiki Tanaka on January 26, 2009 at 3:46pm: Thank you guys. :)
Finally, I managed to write an article! :)
I am quite happy my newest PB. next target is break 48mins wall. :)
Anyway, Tokyo is much warmer than NY. I jogged almost every morning at NYC, but the air is much colder over there. One morning, I could not stay outside more than 10mins. It was brutal!! :))
