Marathon fitness helps with all races 3k and up - Deek ran a pretty respectable 3000 (around 8 minutes) without doing any specialist training for the event.<br /><br />On the news front... most of ours is from the middle east or what's happening with Fukushima. Not sure I want to watch stories like the one you mention - I'd be shedding tears too.Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-9301730882876496512011-03-24T04:18:14.580+09:002011-03-24T04:18:14.580+09:00sorry to hear that nagano has been cancelled.
jap...sorry to hear that nagano has been cancelled.<br /><br />japan is still in the disaster response phase so i think the days ahead are going to be even more difficult as stories of personal tragedy unfold, and the true impact of these natural events become known. <br /><br />i think once the dead have been buried and the reconstruction and recovery starts, people will have something different to focus on. i am not saying that people will forget, but collectively japan WILL pull through. again. they will because they have the courage snd resourcefulness to do. <br /><br />hang in there, continue to be as supportive and caring as you presently are, and let those affected know that a lot of people DO care, and don't underestimate how important your support and caring.<br /><br />all the best scottAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-27176014838671492492011-03-24T01:04:55.805+09:002011-03-24T01:04:55.805+09:00All things considered, cancelling the event seems ...All things considered, cancelling the event seems like the right thing to do. <br /><br />Stay positive and healthy my friend.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />RonPunkRockRunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532411836716339642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-56449382296854702422011-03-23T17:36:07.511+09:002011-03-23T17:36:07.511+09:00Sorry to hear your marathon was cancelled!

As you say though, everything in perspective.<br /><br />I can certainly empathise with your feeling of being unable to fathom why the world doesn't stop when you suffer a great loss and the feeling of resentment almost that life appears to continue around you as if nothing has happened.<br /><br />Great to see you taking the positive view - The bast your marathon training has given you is a great springboard for the faster paced PBs.Grellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132757537248747078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-90391831970717963242011-03-23T06:25:25.132+09:002011-03-23T06:25:25.132+09:00I'm not surprised that they canceled it and th...I'm not surprised that they canceled it and their decision to donate the entry fees is a good one. <br />It must be tough for you with all the images of despair that you're having to see. I learnt a lesson earlier this year with our floods then the NZ earthquake that to expose yourself to the pain too much can have a detrimental effect on you. I ended up having to limit how much coverage I watched.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819714901550763235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34739089.post-2260862355936214832011-03-22T22:46:31.070+09:002011-03-22T22:46:31.070+09:00Yes, a picture like that would put everything else...Yes, a picture like that would put everything else into perspective, that's for sure.<br /><br />But as you said, life goes on. I made the same experience at the age of 18 when one of my best friends died in a horrific car crash.
