(1)Prize Money If I start training last year, lose about 40kgs of weight, come 1st, in a wheelchair, break the course record, world record, get the time bonuses,  and claim the 38,300,000 yen prize money, I may be able to pay a few bills. Think I’ll need a new pair of shoes first.

Tokyo Marathon 2009 on 22nd of March will be about 2 weeks after my annual Shimofusa points race criterium.  I honestly don’t think I will complete the race with my current body but will work towards the goal.
