You know what, I participated in a half marathon last Sunday!
"PARACUP" is a charlity marathon that is held every year since 2005 to help deprived children
all around the world.

One of my friends from high school, Ayako asked me to the marathon a few months ago,
and I just said "YES!" :D Not much training = I was so lazy, but I just wanted to try!

There were 1,500 people in this race.
↓ Waiting for the start!

Running by Tamagawa River.
It was such a nice day for marathon!

↓ Many volunteers cheering the runners!
The board says "We can make it together". Yes, we can!

It was my first try to run such a long distance.
I found it is really hard, but running with many people, and the cheers of the volunteers gave me power,
and finally it was so much fun :D

I had a muscle ache soooo bad after, but now almost recovered.
Maybe I start runinng tomorrow again♪ not today.
Anyone wanna be my company next time? ;)
