The Big Come Down

At the opposite end of this month last year I ran the Yodogawa Marathon and inched tantalisingly close to my four hours thirty minutes target (which I broke at the Osaka Marathon in October.) Now the Yodogawa Ultramarathon is one week away and I have just run my last ten kilometer run before the big event which I have been focused on ever since I started serious training four years ago. Next year, if this event is running again, I'll try for the one hudred kilometers event. This year I'm doing the seventy. I'll take some good omens. I ran this afternoon's ten kilometers in under one hour and my Mouse On Mars playlist finished at exactly the same time as I arrived home with Wipe That Sound. Why deny it now?
