NAIROBI， Dec. 1 (Xinhua) -- Former world record-holder Patrick Makau of Kenya wants to make another attempt on improving his personal best time when he lines up for the Fukuoka Marathon on Sunday in Japan.

Makau， who holds a personal best time of 2:03.38， which was a world record before it was cut down to 2:03.02 and later 2:02.57， will be aiming for a hat-trick of Fukuoka Marathon titles.

The 31-year-old triumphed in the Japanese city in 2014 and 2015. Only four other men have three or more wins in Fukuoka. The last man to win three times in a row was Toshihiko Seko， who was victorious in 1978， 1979 and 1980.

""I feel my body is ready and as I embark on this assignment. There is only one thing in my mind -- to run faster. Not a world record， but fast time that will confirm my return to competition after long battle with injury，"" he said on Thursday in Nairobi.

Makau and Kwambai departed on Thursday and hope the weather will be favourable to enable them accomplish their mission. Makau is one of three men in the field with a sub-2:05 personal best.

World silver medalist Yemane Tsegay of Ethiopia and James Kwambai of Kenya will be competing in Fukuoka for the first time. Tsegay has a best of 2:04:48 and finished third at this year's Boston marathon.

Kwambai's best is 2:04:27 and earlier this year he won the Daegu Marathon in 2:10:46.

The field also includes the likes of Eritrean record-holder Yared Asmerom， Polish record-holder Henryk Szost and prolific Japanese racer Yuki Kawauchi.

Meanwhile， Ethiopia's 2012 Olympic 10，000m bronze medalist Tariku Bekele and Kenya's 2015 Marugame Half Marathon champion Paul Kuira will be making their marathon debuts

Makau won in Berlin twice， including his world-record run in 2011 where he ran 2:03:38. Last year， he retained his Fukuoka Marathon title in 2:08:18 and became the first man to get back-to-back wins.

Now he is on the cusp of writing a new chapter in history of the race， should he weather the storm and win on December 4， his third title in as many attempts.

""I do not look much at the record， because when it comes to the real running， the experience and records sometimes do not count and the health status of the body on the material day is crucial. I want to win the race though，"" he said.

When asked what his best race was， Makau said: ""A pivotal moment in my career was setting the world marathon record in Berlin in 2011. That was a reward for hard work and focus. It was a blessing.""

But he has another challenge to push his body to the limit and confirm his critics wrong that he still has a future in marathon running by winning Fukuoka.

However， he said it is too early to start thinking of the World Marathon Championships in London next year. Enditem

" Telepathy is the art of being able to communicate using only the power of the mind; the ability to understand the thoughts of another person. It stems from the Ancient Greek language [url=http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysdortmund.com/]AC Milan Jerseys For Sale[/url] , and means 'distant feeling', where empathy is strong between one or more people. However, the term wasn't coined until the late 19th century [url=http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysdortmund.com/]Cheap AC Milan Jerseys[/url] , when more people began to think about the way the mind works, and how we are able to empathise with others.

Telepathy and witchcraft has always been under discussion. The messages that are received through different mediums such as tarot cards, crystal balls [url=http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysdortmund.com/sven-bender-jersey/]Cheap Sven Bender Jersey[/url] , dreams, or even without prompting are sent through the mind, where the telepathic nature of the witch is allowed to process the images or thoughts that come from their spirit or animal guides in order to determine answers to the questions being asked.

Telepathy is most common with identical twins [url=http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysdortmund.com/sokratis-papastathopoulos-jersey/]Cheap Sokratis Papastathopoulos Jersey[/url] , especially those who have been apart for many years, as scientific studies have shown that their lives are similar, and they often feel as though a part of them is missing. Identical twins have also been noted to be able to converse with each other (mostly as young infants) without the use of their primary senses [url=http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysdortmund.com/shinji-kagawa-jersey/]Cheap Shinji Kagawa Jersey[/url] , sometimes excluding those around them from their little world that has been created. Young children are considered to have greater psychic powers as their adult counterparts, due to the adult seeming to rely on their physical senses to determine their place in the world.

Scientific tests have been conducted many times in an attempt to provide conclusive evidence as to how this phenomenon appears in the brain. The most simple of tests involve holding up a set of Zenner cards. These cards typically have 5 different shapes on them; a star, triple waves [url=http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysdortmund.com/sebastian-rode-jersey/]Cheap Sebastian Rode Jersey[/url] , a circle, a square and a cross. The purpose of these tests is that the subject must focus on the thoughts of the person holding up the card in order to correctly state the card that is being held. Although these findings are inconclusive as it is possible to guess the tests, the main conclusions showed that people who had a higher volume of stored psychic power were able to have a higher number of correct answers. Other tests involve the placing of two people in separate rooms [url=http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysdortmund.com/roman-weidenfeller-jersey/]Cheap Roman Weidenfeller Jersey[/url] , and asking them to think of a subject which is then guessed by the other.

There have also been other tests where one person sent images to another whilst sleeping. Once the sleeper has woken, they were asked to describe their dreams, which often contained the images that were projected to them. This test has proved to be the most conclusive in the study of psychic energy and telepathy amongst people.

Telepathy has been the subject of many scientific arguments and studies. One subject that hasn't come into question is the use of telepathy amongst animals. They are often aware of their owner's thoughts and feelings [url=http://www.cheapsoccerjerseysdortmund.com/roman-burki-jersey/]Cheap Roman Burki Jersey[/url] , and can mostly be found providing comfort when their owner is ill or depressed. Many times, the behavior of the animal changes slightly if the owner is due to return home, as the. [url=http://www.leightonvandereschjersey.com/]Leighton Vander Esch Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.lamarjacksonjersey.com/]Authentic Lamar Jackson Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.khalilmackjersey.com/]Authentic Khalil Mack Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.kareemhuntjersey.com/]Authentic Kareem Hunt Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.juliojonesjerseys.com/]Julio Jones Womens Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.jujusmith-schusterjersey.com/]JuJu Smith-Schuster Womens Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.jimmygaroppolojersey.com/]Jimmy Garoppolo Womens Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.jasonwittenshop.com/]Jason Witten Youth Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.jaredcookjersey.com/]Jared Cook Youth Jersey[/url]   [url=http://www.jalenramseyjersey.com/]Jalen Ramsey Kids Jersey[/url]
