             A Japanese Lady's Choice(February 12, 2009)                                                      
            Without any previous notice,we got the application from Japanese  
            lady on January 27!From her name,we immediately realized that she is  
            the one who attended the Great Wall of China Marathon in Beijing on  
            May 1 last year.    
                                                                 
            Her name is Atsuko Murata,she is 66 years old this year and she  
            is the Japanese lady who have already participated over 20 world top  
            marathon races in Europe in America and in Australia and New Zealand.    
                                                                 
            Last year,she raced the half marathon on the Great Walls in  
            Beijing and her time is 2:38:10,and this year on May 1,she will  
            challenge the full marathon!She told us that she runs and swims  
            every day and she even have ever attended the 100km marathon race in  
            Japan!

            and could have the simple coversation in Chinese at this moment!She

            drink cold beers very much!She would very much like to have more  
            communication with the runners from all over the world on May 1!
