Detroit
International (1997) |
5:20:17 |
Dealt
with a knee injury sustained 3 weeks ago (rock climbing class) which kept me from running my race. |
2 |
Detroit
International (1998) |
4:31:39
|
Mysteriously,
the official certificate says I ran it in 3:18:28!! |
3 |
Twin
Citites Marathon (2001) |
4:31:53 |
Time
is deceiving -- The best run I have experienced so far.
|
4 |
Twin
Citites Marathon (2002) |
4:50:12
|
Time
does tell the story -- it just wasn't my day! Drinking two days before the run (and getting hangover the day before) at my friends place did not help |
5 |
Chicago
Marathon (2003) |
4:38:44 |
Smartest
run I have had -- and the best finish in terms of percentile
rank (62%) so far. |
6 |
Grandma's
Marathon (2005) |
5:31:44
|
Most
ill-prepared marathon. All I could say is "I finished." |
7 |
Chicago
Marathon (2005) |
4:50:13 |
Felt
decent but it took more time than I thought. Perhaps taking
pictures along the way and talking to people cost me a
few minutes. |
8 |
Inaugural Tokyo
Marathon (2007) |
5:10:32
|
Had
a fair run considering this was the most streneous marathon-day
weather condition I've experienced physically -- 39 degrees,
steady rain throughout |
9 |
Tokyo
Marathon (2008) |
5:20:10 |
Second
time was a charm -- great weather, great run mentally
and physically for the most part. Would count this as
one of my three best runs. |
10 |
Tokyo
Marathon (2010) |
5:20:09
|
Maybe
I hit the bottom!! This makes me want to run another marathon! (data) |
11 |
Inaugural Kyoto Marathon (2012) |
5:11:30 |
First-ever Kyoto Marathon was a real charm. The only regret was a congestion due to water station, which easily added 10 minutes to the time.(data) |
12 |
Osaka Marathon (2012) |
4:54:24 |
Best net time since 2005. Surely, the body fat reduction program and a proper diet did the work. First marathon ever that I did not experience any slowdown due to pulled muscles or energy drain. Really loved the strong finish! (data) |
13 |
Inaugural Guan International Marathon (2013) |
5:06:45 |
Started at 4 a.m. to avoid the hot temperature of the day, but still got a plenty of sun at the end! (data) |
14 |
Rock 'n' Roll San Diego Marathon (2014) |
5:33:00 |
Recovering from a broken ankle procedure in April, it wasn't until a week before the race I stareted running on a threadmill. A fast recovery during the week lured me into giving it a try, and the luck was on my side this day! (data) |
15 |
Fujisan Marathon (2014) |
4:55:16 |
The last 5 miles ended up earning the fastest laptime of the day -- the first time this ever happened in my marathon history. (data) |
16 |
Inaugural Toyama Marathon (2015) |
4:51:14 |
Another inaugural marathon is in the books. Blessed by a beautiful fall weather, the time was the best since 2005. (data) |
17 |
Tokyo Marathon (2016) |
4:55:50 |
Garmin tracking data indicates the second half of the marathon was stronger (and it felt easier, too) than the first despite a hot Februrary afternoon. I think I have established a prep. routine here. |
