2018 Boston marathon winner Yuki Kawauchi and wife were winners today at marathon in Japan
The man who shocked the world in 2018 when he won the Boston Marathon, Yuki Kawauchi is a marathon-running icon. He shared this on FB today:
"I ran Tohoku Miyagi Fukko Marathon today.
My result was 2:11:48 and I broke course record.
So I got course record bonus(¥500000 = $3350).
I was so good until 25km today.
But I struggled head wind & small hills from 25km.
Part of this course was a revival road built over an area destroyed by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
I am proud that I was able to run well in area that is unforgettable for Japanese people.
And my wife YUKO was 4th clocking 2:56'29.
Today's marathon was her first marathon since giving birth last year."
I'm also proud of her efforts for sub-3, who continued to run with the stroller every day.
