Checked In

I went straight to Intex Osaka after work today in order to check in for Sunday's marathon. Here's my kit, including bib, official programme, magnetic bracelet, locator/timing chip and, best of all, the souvenir T-shirt by Mizuno. Very nice. Some extra good news when I got home was that Valerie's book report was published in the local edition of the Mainichi News. I considered making that today's blip but it's just black and white kanji whereas my marathon kit is very colourful.
