Tokyo Imperial Palace Talking

[GimmeKitty]

Yeah, congrats!!

Contemplating running in a marathon makes me tired, haha.

Can you TOUR the Imperical palace grounds, Kevin? I'd love to do that.

I love reading about CP Princess Masako, as well.

[NichiBeiTrader]

Congratulations on the finishing time! I'll drink a beer in your honor!

[jlandkev]

Thank you very much sir :)

[mostawesomestjes]

I watched it on TV for a while to try to see you cross the finish line, but I never say you or your name! Shrug.

Most people who live around here have never been there! I've not been yet! ^_^ I will go when it is more green!

otsukare! You sound tired! I hope you and your legs got a nice rest on the trip back! ^_^

[jlandkev]

Thank you very much. In a few more days my legs should be alright. i should be back out running by Friday :)

[justinc18]

Yeah, definitely neat video. The trees, sound of gravel under the feet, and the vast openness of nothingness. Quite interesting. Figured there would be more activity, and colour besides the yellow grass, and gray concrete, and few buildings. I need to go there someday, especially in the summer.

Congrats on the marathon.

Isn't funny when you get your coffee you just rhyme for some odd reason.?!

[jlandkev]

so true! Coffee has that power...to make an average man a poet! :)

[qiranger]

I really hope to get over there and take a look at the palace.

[jlandkev]

it is a neat place to visit!

[DerSchnurrbart]

I remember one time a naked man jumped in the water and tried to swim to the imperial palace. The Japanese police had to stop him and it was hilarious.

[qiranger]

Wasn't that last year?

[jlandkev]

yep...early 2009 I think

[jlandkev]

that was freakin hialrious! I thought about doing it too yesterday, but my better judgement got the best of me!

[StarDr0ps]

I've been there! Such a cool place too. Congrats for finishing the marathon run yesterday. :)

[sengoku17]

the palace seems heavily guarded but doesnt look like it

[TokyoNerd]

Been there. Though it was a little disappointing because you aren't allowed to go very far.

[jlandkev]

I agree!

[bestiaccia]

Very nice place!

Congratulations!!!

[nivlas1]

I'm not sure why, Kevin, but I really liked this video. Kudos for the run. I ran twice this weekend, but 40k? Not. More vids, please, for the wistful (but victorious) in TO.

[phampants]

I want to actually see Japan. Seeing the Osaka airport doesn't count

[Mafiadaughter]

Congratz on finishing the marathon.

[AndySan]

01:44 - Wow, they should call you the Rhyming Gaijin, haha!!

Great footage btw!

[MrJingjong]

I wonder if the Royal family ever get bored behind the walls and sneak out for a Mosburger?

[jlandkev]

coming in another video soon...on BusanKevin!

[JoeCubicle]

I'm sure a marathon video is coming... but how did it go? I'm assuming you finished?!

[jlandkev]

finished in 4 hours 23 mins :)

[Rhyc111]

congratulations kevin!

[chrismecking]

congrats for finishing the marathon!!!

The weather looks really mist....though it is a very impressing place!!!

Have a good ride back home!!!

[ElevenColors]

I can feel clogged up sinuses when I listen to this video.

Get well soon, y'all.

[jlandkev]

I can still barely breathe as I am typing this comment!

[Yoshoku]

Your very lucky Kevin. I hope you never take Japan for Granted :)

[jlandkev]

Thanks. I will always enjoy it!

[MicknFumi]

hahaha you sound very tired mate...but your out there making vids after doing a marathon. I'd probably be stuck on a stretcher for at least a few days...cool man, the imperial palace. I've never been there. So how did you go, did you meet your personal target in the way of time you mentioned a few vids back?

[jlandkev]

I was walking very slowly. I missed my target by a few minutes. It was REALLY cold and wet for the majority of the marathon. It was hell on my knees. I'm still happy with the results though. I'll train harder for the next one!

[Graehaus]

Congrats again for the win ( finishing is a win) kevin. Beautiful imagery.
