A blog about jitensha and jogging
Been mad busy lately, 14 hour days, but finished my work and got the news today that I'm running in the Tokyo Marathon. Last time I was selected I got injured, so I'm hoping for better luck second time around.

I live in Tokyo and fill most of my time with running (when I'm not working). I'm pretty new to running - although I have run the London Marathon and I've recently got a bit competitve in 5km runs (my best is a 17.33 set on the track). I don't cycle so much these days, but I've ridden all around the world, including Manchester Velodrome; Herne Hill Velodrome in London; the Adelaide 'Superdrome'; Launceston 'Silverdome' and the roads of Australia, Belgium, Britain and France. These days I ride just for fun and fitness - somehow I own a better bicycle now than I did when I used to race. 私は東京に住んでいます。仕事をしている時以外は、いつも走っているか、サイクリングをしています。オーストラリアやヨーロッパで自転車のレースに出場したことがあります。今は私の自転車を6.8kgの重さにまで軽量するため、改良中です。

I wonder if foreigners are exempt from the lottery. It seems like all the foreigners I know are being selected but very few of my Japanese friends.
I'm pretty sure you're right. Of the people I know who entered, all the foreigners bar one (who has a Japanese surname) got in, while among the Japanese runners half missed out. It's an Olympics thing.
