Satisfactory

Another wonderful run in the Kobe Marathon. Unfortunately, I didn't get the sub-four I was shooting for, but it was my second best time for a marathon. My best time is still 4:06 in the 2015 Kobe Marathon. Today I ran 4:09. Not bad, and at least I can say I gave it my all, not stopping once and digging in whenever I got tired.

I went for a lovely meal with a couple of friends at a Brazilian restaurant in Mosaic and, by an amazing coincidence, my neighbours came in and sat at the table next to us. It's a small world.

We were going to go for a sento afterwards but it got a bit late and we were all tired. A nice hot bath at home really hit the spot.
