I got a ticket to Osaka Marathon 2019!

Super psyched to find out that I have secured a lottery ticket to run this year’s Osaka Marathon! This race is happening in and around Osaka, Japan on December 1, 2019. This is my second marathon in Japan and my second marathon, ever. I have never been in Osaka. Running this race would be a fantastic tour in this city.

I ran the Tokyo Marathon in March this year, which I entered via lottery, too. It looks like my marathon luck hasn’t worn off. Please don’t ever leave me.

The other reason I am rather excited to be accepted to this race is because Cali got picked, too. He’s probs going to run faster than my pace – I mean, that’s for sure – but it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy now knowing that we’ll be freezing our asses off together at the starting line. LOL.

Training starts in September. For my training plan, I’ll be following the same Hal Higdon plan that I referred to for my Tokyo Marathon (read my training posts here). September’s a few months away, so for now I’ll be feeding myself with videos of past Osaka Marathons… and food vlogs.
