I was so grateful that I was alive.

I weighed 85.9 kg on the morning of Tokyo Marathon 2026. To be precise, I took off some extra clothes compared to usual, so I must have weighed more than 86. 


This was a personal record of heavy weight Marathon running.


Even when I walked, I interpreted it as a strategic walking. I was not being defeated. I was just pacing intelligently.


I finished with a net time of about 6 hours 25 minutes or so. Both figures for my weight and time were personal highs.


After the finish line, I looked up at the blue sky, and felt almost like crying.


I was so grateful that I was alive and could finish my 10th or so full Marathon.


Meanwhile, people were being bombarded all over the world.
