I came here to break the Japanese record. So I'm very happy. If the weather had been cooler, I think I could have run close to 2 hours 18 minutes. |
If it had been a little cooler, I could have been running 2:18, but in these conditions I am very happy with what I did, |
If it happens I go to a race and she's in it, that's fine. |
In making comparisons, in Athens I just ran my hardest to win, whereas in Berlin the key was maintaining the tempo, |
My next aim is to run two hours 18mins, after that of course there is being in Beijing and defending my title in 2008, |
