Week 1: Kobe Marathon 2013

Here we are again, finally set on another race!

The Kobe Marathon is Sunday, Nov 11, giving me 20 weeks.  This is a good amount of time and with a flat course, my goal is sub 3:10.

But, one big difference this time, I won't let this consume me.  The MDS took over my life (our lives, actually), I wasn't able to study Japanese, and I lost most of what I had learned.  Also, I want to spend more time off-road in the mountains to prep for the Rokko-Juso run the week after Kobe.  This means letting go of specific time/ distance goals for every session.  As such, I won't be posting a training plan every week,  and may not get too training specific.  Let's see how it goes.

Besides, who wouldn't want to spend more time in a place like this :)
