50.000 people wanted to join the first
Fukuoka GOOD JOG Marathon held in November 2014.
Only 10.000 got a starting-ticked.
I was lucky.
A BIG Thank You to
the organizers, runners, sponsors, supporters
and the Wonderful Volunteers.
It was SUPER.
Some pictures:
Running friend Riki is volunteering at " the head-office".
My "home-town": Meinohama fisherman's families are supporting
left and right. Eji and Etsuko san ( "our" SUMIE maru) with their
grandchildren (left).
Oki Arrigatto!

Yachting friend Mena (r) and neighbor.
Total Towel Service at the goal by Noriko.
Happy Times: 4 h 41 minutes.
( exactly the same score @ 2014 Ibusuki Marathon).
And 2 videos, of course taken with my GoPro.
They are good action cameras, but even so,
with running there is some "shaking".
Dear Mr Google who works at YouTube was so kind to
remove those last shakes.
This is part 1: from the start in Tenjin to about 17K
Part 2 is from 26K to the finish at Shima, Itoshima
The bit in the middle?....oops, flat camera battery...
All in All, an Amazing GOOD JOG.
Hope to run you next year.
Salute.
