AM-Easy 10 miles at 8 min pace with last 4 at 6:44-49/mile. 7th east out and back. Studying the Japanese marathoners lately.. Interesting to see their methods and discipline being put into place. Marathon victors are revered as godlike over there. Looking to the past at runners like Seko and coaches such as Nakimura leaves one feeling somewhat lacksadaisical and unmotivated in comparison to say the least. So here is a famous quote from Nakimura, the coach and mentor of Toshiko Seko; Talent is limited but Effort is limtless... Leaves me pondering for a bit today. PM- Easy 5 miles out on the JRT. Very peaceful and relaxing this evening.
