my first Marathon – part I
I knew right away once I had done my first half marathon that I was ready to do a marathon too! Before that, running was just for my personal fun as I live by the beach and the beauty of running on the coastline always captivated me.

I used to see him run and admired his running stride and when I met and spoke to him I saw what a wonderful person he was too. He just makes things so easy and possible – he makes you believe and want to better yourself.
My training took four months – Touma and I decided that I would do my marathon in spring (in March specifically) so as not to suffer too much with training in the hot summer months.
