毎まい年とし3万ばん人にん以い上じょうが参さん加かする「東とう京きょうマラソン」は、人にん気きが高たかく、申もうし込こんでもなかなか出でられない。私わたしも去きょ年ねんやっと出でられ、42.195キロを最さい後ごまで走はしることができた。特とくに印いん象しょうに残のこったのは、新しん宿じゅくや銀ぎん座ざなどの、いつもは車くるまでいっぱいの大だい都と会かいの道みちを走はしることの気き持もちよさだった。大たい勢せいの人ひとの応おう援えんを受うけ、高たかいビルや周まわりの景色けしきを見みながら、車くるまの通つう行こうが禁きん止しされた車しゃ道どうを走はしるのは予よ想そう以い上じょうに楽たのしく、これが「東とう京きょうマラソン」の人にん気きの秘ひ密みつなのだと思おもった。機き会かいがあれば、ぜひまた出でたいと思おもっている。
