Running in Okinawa

Well, it's been another rather unproductive year in terms of running, but I think I've finally turned a corner. After reaching my peak two years ago, I crashed on my bike. Then, after a slow year of getting back in shape, I developed a stress fracture--no doubt in preparing for the 100K race. After that race, I needed another month off, until the pain disappeared. Now I'm feeling good and slowly increasing my mileage. My hope is to make a serious challenge for a sub-three marathon this year. To do that, I have to do everything right: lose weight, increase my mileage, and improve my speed. Most importantly, however, I now feel confident again.
