On November 6th, Argentine / Spanish / Italian / Japanese model Michibata Jessica held a talk show at Nike Harajuku, where she revealed that she will be participating in "Nagoya Women Marathon 2012"�on March 11th of next year.

Jessica is a sportswoman who has been appearing in advertisements for Nike as 'Nike Athlete' since October. At the talk show she commented, "I wanted to try a full marathon at least once in my life."

With the guidance of Kawashima Shinji, the Japanese representative for the Sydney Olympics 2000 Men's Marathon, Jessica has been preparing herself for the marathon since this summer. "It's my first time so instead of setting a time limit, I'm aiming to complete the race. I heard that there is nothing better than the feeling you get when you reach the goal, so I'm excited," she expressed.

British Formula One driver and Jessica's boyfriend Jensen Button stated, "I've never ran in a marathon before, so I can't offer any advice." Regarding marriage, Jessica laughed as she said, "I don't know about that yet."
