Dead presidents, marathons and motorcylces

Just an update on a few things going on.

I'm in the midst of training for the Osaka Yodogawa Marathon and am still hoping to get into the Tokyo Marathon.

Thanks cool Kevin. :) I always look forward to your videos, and the fact that you have signed up to do yet another marathon... well... OMEDETOU!

I have a few under my belt, and 3 ultras... (nothing close to Badwater size... but yeah)

Thanks for sharing your view of the world.

:)

[BusanKevin]

Anyone who has completed an ultra is a better person than I. BUT...I do hope to join your ranks someday.

Yeah....the Badwater is soooo BADASSS!

Thanks for watching and I hope you continue to do so :)

Good luck on marathon and big one in Tokyo too!!

[BusanKevin]

you should run another one too!

[phampants]

when does marathon training officially start for you?

[BusanKevin]

dunno! I suppose about 3 weeks ago I officially got more serous about running. I as only running once a week before that. Now 4 times a week running on the pavement and 2 in the gym working my upper body and core.

I still find some time for beer though ;)

[chellyman]

I feel the warm fuzzy feeling Kevin...

[cosmicjackpot]

Glad you're still running. Always good to see your vids. Almost like we were having drinks after hours again, except that most of your vids are in the middle of the day. You seem to like Japan more than Korea. Don't tell me you like the food better. I mean really, do they have anything that beats samkyupsal and soju?

I managed to run for 60 seconds, and that I was done, utterly ruined. And I'm 22! ¬_¬

[mostawesomestjes]

Yay Tokyo marathon! I will not be running in it being that I have not run a marathon in many years.... maybe next year.

Nice wheels man!

[rtablada]

yeah i know, profiting using free or extremely low-cost resources is a great business venture.

Anyways, i'll just say good luck to Kev on the coming marathons in Japan. I sort of laughed when he said about the Tokyo marathon - registering for a run, that's pure passion of the sport. :)

that taxi bike was really cleaver. they need to make more merchandise made out of recycled things. 5 starz

[accskaguy]

61.1 km is my top racing distance so far. :) (Just in case you were wondering) Nearly a marathon and a half... but over a course which was not squeamish about finding every hill along the way... :)
