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 :)
