This photo was taken minutes before I set out to run a '100 mile (161km) Ultramarathon' race by foot. It was very early in the morning and was less than one month before I was leaving for Japan.

I had trained so hard for this event, and my mind was incredibly strong.

When I look at this picture now, I'm surprised at how calm I look! 

Little did I know how tough the next 21 hours would be.....

But it was completely worth it in the end, and the feeling of completing the race was indescribable! :-)
