Three Days after the Full Marathon

I ran the Fukuoka Marathon last Sunday and experienced leg muscle pain for two days. However, this morning I felt almost no pain ---just a little, if anything.

On the other hand, I’ve been suffering from both of my fifth toenails, which turned reddish in color. I had the same experience with my right toenail ten months ago; it turned black and stayed that way for several months. This is a common side effect for marathon runners and is called "subungual hematoma." I’ll stop running for a few more days and see if the pain decreases.

During the Fukuoka Marathon, I stopped at 11-12 water stations. I didn’t come to a complete stop but slowed down at each station, which likely resulted in about five minutes of time loss overall. I also went to the restroom seven times (for pee) and stopped once for poop, which took an additional ten minutes. I actually didn’t need to go that often.

I need to lose ten kilograms, but I only lost one kilogram. If I lost more nine kilograms, my time would likely improve by 27 minutes.
I could cut down a couple of minutes for dropping by water stations, and five minutes for the restroom.
I could cut down about 35 minutes in total.

Considering these factors, I could probably achieve my "sub-six" target (finishing within 6 hours by gross time). It seems very easy from one perspective, but on second thought, it also seems quite challenging.
Hahaha.


先の日曜日に福岡マラソンを走り、2日間は足の筋肉痛に苦しみました。しかし、今朝はほとんど痛みがなくなり、あるとしてもほんのわずかです。
しかしその一方で、両足の小指の爪が赤っぽくなり、痛みます。10か月前にも右足の爪が同じような状態になり、黒く変色して数か月色がとれませんでした。これはマラソンランナーによくあることで、「爪下血腫」と呼ばれています。あと数日はランニングを休んで、痛みが引くか様子を見ようと思います。

福岡マラソン中、11〜12か所の給水所に立ち寄りました。完全に止まらずにペースを落としただけですが、合計で約5分ほどのタイムロスがあったと思います。また、トイレには7回(小用)と1回(大用)行き、さらに10分のロスがありました。実際、そんなに頻繁にトイレに行く必要はなかったのです。

10キロの減量が必要ですが、1キロしか減らせませんでした。あと9キロ減量できれば、タイムが27分ほど改善する可能性があります。給水所での時間を2分ほど削り、トイレの時間も5分ほど削ることで、合計で35分ほど短縮できるかもしれません。

これらの要素を考慮すると、私の「サブ6」目標(グロスタイムで6時間以内の完走)を達成できるかもしれません。ある意味では達成可能に思えますが、よく考えると難しいかもしれませんね。 ハハハ。

Three Days after the Full Marathon

I ran the Fukuoka Marathon last Sunday and experienced leg muscle pain for two dayshe first two days (after the event/race).

For "leg muscle pain", this is perfect grammar but doesn't sound natural.

But a more natural way to say this would be:

→ "pain in my legs"
→ "cramp in my legs"
→ "pain in my leg muscles"

Or:
"I ran the Fukuoka Marathon last Sunday and had awful pain in my legs for the first two days after the race"

However, this morning I felt almost no pain ---just a little, if anything at all.

On the other hand, I’ve been suffering from both of my fifth toenails, whichpain in my toenails - both of my small toes have turned reddish in color.

For toes:

"Big toe" is the 1st toe
"Small toe / pinky toe" is the 5th toe

We don't use 1st, 2nd, etc. to count our toes.

I had the same experience with a toenail on my right toenailfoot ten months ago; it turned black and stayed that way for several months.

(Not 100% sure what you meant by "right toenail")

I’ll stop running for a few more days and see if the pain decreassubsides.

During the Fukuoka Marathon, I stopped at 11- or 12 water stations.

I didn’t come to a complete stop but slowed down at each station, which likely resulted in about five minutes of overall time loss overall.

I also went to the restroom seven times (forto pee) and stopped once forto poop, which took an additional ten minutes.

I actually didn’t feel the need to go that often., but I forced myself to go because of [XYZ]

You may need to explain this sentence as it doesn't feel like a complete idea.

I nehad targeted to lose ten kilograms before the race, but I only lost one kilogram.

Like this?? I am not clear what "I need" means in this sentence.

If I lost more nine kilograms, my time would have likely improved by around 27 minutes.

I could have cut down a couple of minutes for dropping byby using fewer water stations, and a further five minutes forom the restroom visits.

I could have cut down abroutnd 35 minutes in total.

Considering these factors, I could probably could have achieved my "sub-six" target (finishing within 6 hours by gross time).

It seems very easy from one perspective, but on second thought, it also seems quite challenging.

You could also say 11 to 12. I think the dash can be confusing if the numbers are consecutive.

Hahaha.

Your entry so far has a clinical, slightly formal style so the Hahaha seems out of place
