Back home now after running the #TokyoMarathon this past Sunday.

I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed #Tokyo! This was my first time there (or anywhere in Asia. People were accommodating and wonderful. I love how clean everything is! Good metro system. Good food. Charmingly quirky!

#Japan is marvellous. I will be back!

@obrien_kat Congratulations!!
Tokyo Marathon done in around 4:09. 5th of 6 World Marathon Majors.
Not near my fastest or near my slowest, happy with race. When I couldn’t run or really live life for ~2 years due to concussion and stroke, didn’t know if I’d be here here, for sure didn’t expect to have run 10 marathons since.

Ran the #TokyoMarathon this morning. This was my 72nd #marathon and my 6th World Marathon Major.

What a fantastic race! #Tokyo is beautiful. Incredibly well organized and a great route. Lots of supporters cheering along the race route. I love it here. A bonus that we had beautiful weather! (Much better than the snow and ice at home, ha ha!)

I managed to finish about 11 mins faster than my Boston Qualifying time. Couldn't be happier!

Arrived in #Tokyo to run the #Marathon on Sunday. Tokyo is amazing. And weird. Love it here.

This will be my 6th of the #WorldMarathonMajors and my 72nd full marathon overall. Weather forecast is looking great!

@mwichary Absolutely!!
Wow! Just saw a super bright #meteor streaking vertically down somewhere west of #Edmonton! Too fast for me to get a pic. Heads up, Spruce Grove!
