On July 30th, Beijing Olympics women`s marathon team member Reiko Tosa (Team Mitsui Sumitomo Kaijo) returned from her training camp in Kunming, China. Tosa revealed to reporters that she is suffering from a bunion on her right foot. She has previously suffered from bunions on her left foot, but this time the problem has surfaced in a new area. "The bunion happened a week ago, but I`m OK now," said Tosa. "I was still able to get in some good conditioning." Her training while waiting for the foot problem to heal during the last week included two quality sessions.

Tosa is scheduled to head to Nagano Prefecture on Aug. 3rd for her final training camp, then to travel to Beijing on Aug. 14th. "The 'Medal! Medal!' pressure is kind of building up. I just want to be able to run my own race....." Tosa added weakly.
