Sorry it’s been so long! I’m on a week long business trip in Tokyo. It’s my first time in Japan. It’s beautiful!! Tokyo is a bustling, energetic city. At first it’s a little overwhelming (26 million people), but after a while it grows on you — it’s more like an organized chaos than anything else….
I went to the track today. Workout: 5-6×1000 with 3 mins rest in between each. Goal time 3:38. I hit the track and had a great workout! I did all 6: 3:37, 3:37, 3:34, 3:38, 3:37, 3:35. I was proud, I ran really hard, through a good wind (and didn’t even try to wind aid…

I’d like to be as thorough as possible with this race report — more for my own records than for blog-reader pleasure As such, I think I’ll break this into multiple posts, and may be editing as I remember more. Where to start? I’ll begin with the no-carb/carb diet. Per Jerry, I decided to try…
