Less than a week to my first marathon! I got back from a longer than planned trip to Kansas this past Sunday, just in time to finish up a few more runs in Okinawa weather before the race day. Yesterday I ran my last long run for 13 miles up by Okuma. The best part about the race is it starts and finishes less than a block from my apartment. So if I need to I won't have to crawl very far to make it home. Check out this Google Map. The start/finish is in the stadium at the center of the map. My apartment is next door to the Joy Home builiding which is now Manga Souka or Treasure Hunt...it's a big thrift store that buys/sells just about anything.
