INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
My wife spotted a familiar face in your April issue – Masami Yabuta from the Full Hyaku Running Club in Japan. We met him and some other members of the club last year when I went to do the Tokyo Marathon. We were looked after tremendously well and, later in the year, hosted a few of the club’s members when they came over for the Waterford Viking Marathon. This is what makes our sport so special – the people we meet and the friendships we make along the way. Liam Smith, Athgarvan, Co. Kildare, Ireland
