Happy Birthday, Takahiro Sunada! You're the only person I know who thinks running 42 kilometers is just a warm-up. Your incredible fourth-place finish at the 2000 Berlin Marathon still leaves us breathless—mostly because we can't even run to catch our bus without gasping for air!Your ultramarathon feats continue to inspire and amaze everyone around you. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and plenty of carbs—you've certainly earned them! Here's wishing you another year ahead that's as impressive as your endurance runs (but hopefully less exhausting). Keep setting records—and remember: cake calories don't count today!
