Tokyo, Tokyo and London.
In these couple of days, it turned out that I am going to run three marathons in this 2006-2007 season. Tokyo Women's in November, Tokyo Marathon in February and London Marathon in April.
Last winter, when I did three marathons in a row (tokyo, osaka and nagoya), my whole 6 months were dominated by marathon training and I swore myself that I would never ever do three marathons in one winter. It's just too boring way to spend whole winter...
BUT, each of the three races this time seems to have a good enough reason to do.
- Tokyo Women's: My main race. Great honour to run with other elite woman marathoners. Got to do it.
- Tokyo Marathon: Won the lottery, and it's the very first one. Got to do it.
- London Marathon: The last chance to stay in Geraldine's place in Kensington. Undeniable. Got to do it.
As a result, I will be spending whole 10 months for marathon training from June to April. Mmmmm.....I want to go skiing at least once this winter....

You are an undeniably certified masochist!! :-)
You are one tough cookie!!
My suggestion is just to do London for fun. Back off on training after Tokyo and enjoy life!!
Keren, I will probably do London for fun, but I am kind of interested to see what will be the result of 10 month training.
Steve, yes I think I am in a way, now I realised it.
