All right, we're heading out the door Pancakes and recovery and coffee happy birthday mom. We love you and thank you for loving coffee and teaching me to love coffee as well Still drinking here. It's now 218 p.m. Which means the Tokyo Marathon is starting in less than three hours So it's gonna start at 5 p.m. Mountain time here in Colorado and because obviously it's in Japan So they are gosh, they're way ahead in time. I don't I'm not even gonna do the math But tonight true love and I were going off to a gala event Which means I cannot watch the marathon live on my computer So you better believe I'm gonna do a little check in on Twitter to see how the leaders are doing and Yes, I've got a start list for all of you and We're gonna get to the question of the day here in a minute I want to hear your thoughts on this marathon, but did you know I have some eyes I had to I had to do some research listen to this Japan and listen, I've always known that Japan has an incredible running culture. I've never been to Japan I want to go see what it's all about. I just they love running like they love running in Japan. Listen to this Japan produced more sub 208 and 209 marathon racers runners So that's for the on the men's side in 2018 then the United States has in its entire History That's amazing. Japan. Did you let me say that again Japan produced more sub 208 208 and 209 marathoners in two two thousand eighteen then the United States has in its entire History, that's incredible. Japan. You're crushing it. I don't know what else to say. Okay, here we go on the women's side Listen, the second place finisher at Berlin is racing Ruthie Aga, I'm not gonna pronounce these names correctly, but I'll do my best Ruthie Aga. She ran 218 that is legit in Berlin and Okay, and as far as my and then there's other names like Rose Chilimo that names jumps out at me Joan Mele is I think is making her debut Florence Kipplegat Shure Demise a lot of Ethiopia and Kenyan runners Bahrain Japan Honami Meida anyway, I'm gonna go with Florence Kipplegat as my choice. So she let's see. Yeah, she that's where that's where the name jumps out She has won Chicago twice. So that's a big deal. And all right. So that's the women's side I'm going with Florence Kipplegat and then on the men's side. Here we go. You're ready for this now Listen, remember I mentioned this a couple weeks ago. Bekele and Kipsyram Both dropped out and they are 203 guys 203 and 204 respectively So they had to drop out due to injury which really I think opens the race up completely And so, okay, here's a couple of the names on the men's side now that are starting healthy Let's see Gideon Kipkater from Kenya Dixon Chumba from Kenya Seifu Tura from Ethiopia And then there's it there are some there's actually four 204 guys in there. So but I don't know I'm gonna go out on a limb here Suguro Osaka. Okay. I'm not saying Suguru Suguru Osaka Osaka. I apologize. He's from Japan hometown favorite. He's a dark horse He was third at Chicago last year in 205 high 205 50. I'm pulling for him. It's his whole it's like it's his home country I feel like it's his moment to shine. So question of the day. Did you follow the Tokyo marathon? Did you make a prediction? And I'll be honest I have not follow like it goes here's in order the the marathons that I have followed in the past really closely New York because my family's from New York.
