About Me
- Stephen Lacey
- Born in 1963 under a camphor laurel tree beside Bilambil Creek, I now live in Tokyo with my Japanese wife and three sons. I started running in 2002 and my addictive personality soon clasped this foolish pastime to its bosom. I am also an enthusiastic amateur brewer and have won a few competitive home brewing awards in my time. Diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2015, today I can no longer run, and my blog posts are more likely to concern the waxing and waning of my condition.

Stephen,
I left a comment on Mika's blog. You may need to help her to understand some nuances. Her race story was wonderful.
Wow, amazing alright! What a fantastic result. And what a way to run a marathon.
Steve, thanks for introducing my report here. Mr Plu, Mr Scooter and Tesso-san, thanks for your comments.
Thanks for the link to Mika Stephen. It was a great read and I am mind boggled how they can do that!!! How inhumane.
I bet they did not even offer to give money back to all those that entered but would not be able to possibly meet that cutoff point.
But in the face of desperation Mika rose above it and came out on top. Thats what I call inspiring.
