After foreshadowing her race, I think it is encumbent on me to give a quick update on Satohi's run in Tokyo Women's Marathon. The forecast for today was 14 degrees and cloudy. Perfect. Unfortunately it deteriorated and was lucky to have been 5 degrees and constant light rain. Miserable. Unfortunately Satohi was badly affected by the harsh weather and had to pull out at about 28 km. She was devastated afterwards, but bounced back and put on a brave face when a large group of us went out for churrasco (Brazilian BBQ) later. We did have a good night and I hope it helped her get over her disappointment and start looking towards her next goals. If you have a word of encouragement for her, please give her a cheerio over at her place.
Our other three runners went well, and Mika T., she of the poor neglected blog, managed to shave over a minute off her PB. Congratulations Mika and also Yoshiko (3:14:xx) and Mika K. (3:34:xx). otsukaresamadeshita!

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.

Hi Stephen,
Can you settle an arguement I am having with myself.
Is it Steve or Stephen or Stephanie or ????? I know it is a cause of concern when people don't get it right...
Anyhow back to running. I comented on Satohi's blog. Damn shame about the weather. Tell her to move to Brisbane - that just wouldn't happen over here :)
So how are you feeling this week?
