What a happening!

I gave up starting the last marathon.
For citizen runner it is more important that we should keep good condition in every race than that we make a good result. This is my thought.
So DNS is very regretful for me.
But the last race "Arakawa full marathon" was cancelled because of the strong wind!!! So it was not DNS! It was cancelled!!!

Today's training: 3km jog
Monthly mileage for March: 39km

build down running?

To finish a full marathon within 3 hours I have to run as pace running or build up running. Today I started running as a pace running 4:20~4:50/km, but I had been exhausted and ran as a build down running...... It was a result of short of training!
