Kudaka said he normally runs one hour every day, but prior to the race had practiced two hours daily for some weeks. “I’m not satisfied with my time, but I will do faster next year,” Kudaka stated after crossing the finishing line. The most senior of the female runners was 73-year-old Michiko Kawai a Tokyo resident running her third Naha Marathon. Her time was 5:39:59. She said she decided to participate in spite of a knee-injury she had suffered before. “I love Okinawan people and the weather, I wouldn’t miss this race for nothing,” Kawai said. |
