Toya-Ko Marathon 2007. 1 year on 5 minutes faster!
Hope the summer is a rolling in there just as the weather picks up here too after heaps of rain. 5 of us went down to Lake Toya, about 3 hours outside Sapporo and we ran various distances there! I did the 10K in 52m43s so was pleased with that!! strong head wind honest! Mano and Jeff also did the 10K in more like 48mins as the head wind had just cleared by the time they caught up to me!! and Theresa and Tim ran the full marathon, Theresa ran it in 3hrs 39 mins , pretty amazing. tim was just using it as training and you can see a pic of him with his hands over his head just after he got in. A full marathon is still under half of what he has to run in a few weeks. He is now in training for his ultra marathon in June (all 100K!! of it). Great weekend, we camped out like gypsies the night before heating up our pasta on the stove in the hotel room!!

All go here with plans to make the most of my last 11 weekends!! Can you believe it. The job hunt for teaching in Sept. is in process and have decided to run another fundraiser here for ARV, my new found favorite amazing association in India. Myself and Carrie (the Patricks day planners ) are going to have a beach party by the river on June 16th ., Theresa and Tim(in the photos here) are going to help us too, as they led our group to India in May.

Best sign off and get back to drafting a few letters. Doing what I do best , plaguing people. The hunt for sponsorship for our fundraiser is on!!
Love in Summery Sapporo
