I trained for months and ran my first full marathon in Osaka, Japan. The Osaka Yodogawa Citizens Marathon started in Hirakata City and went all the way down the Yodo River to Umeda and back again. I ran it in 4 hours 44 mins. It was an awesome experience. 

I'm doing a few 10k's in between and next Spring another full marathon. My goal will be 4 hours-4 hours 10 minutes. In other words....I have a lot of training to do! Luckily, Kobe, Japan....where I live....is a sweet place to run.
