fakI am going to be able to delete so many emails from my inbox in a few weeks' time, but the latest one to arrive is the big one: confirmation of how to claim my six-star medal if/when I complete Tokyo marathon in just over 15 days. I didn't get their invite to the special breakfast (I wouldn't have gone anyway) so it's a relief to know I am definitely properly on their list. The mantra remains: don't get injured, don't get ill. #running #sixstar #worldmarathonmajors #tokyomarathon2025
Damn, the number of applicants has already exceeded the number of places, and applications are being taken for another 2 weeks. My budget does not compare with others trying to get their #sixstar so it's not looking great so far #running #ukrunchat
Completed my charity runner application for Tokyo marathon 2025 to try and complete my six star. Last year I tried and was rejected after two different essay writing rounds. This year I've gone for a charity that picks the 240 highest donation amounts, and if tied the earliest applications. I've gone as high as I can, if it's not enough, it's not enough. At least the money goes to a charity rather than a tour operator (30 places for the whole of the UK). Wish me luck! #running #sixstar
