copying what my coach is doing

I learned tonight what I've been made mistake many time.
I was saying "I have knee sore" but "sore knee" is the best to say as Steve saying. I just followed as I learned at language school. Thank you for telling me Steve-san.

Well, this is an interesting little distraction from what I should be doing...

4 jobs: I have had- An assistant as Interior coordinator, a hostess for banquet, a sales woman for men's suits, a weitress in Ski & Golf resort.

4 movies: Back to the future, Life is beautiful, Amores Perros, Charlie's Angels. Also I love TV show, 24, Friends, ER, and some Korean drama too.

4 places: I have been on vacation- Riviera Maya in Mexico, National Parks in the US, a place which Aya lives in HK, Sapporo and Otaru in Hokkaido

4 favorite foods: Pasta which is made by myself is so yummy, Miso soup is supportive when I hung over especially, Fried Egg-plants with soy sauce soup are match with Sake, Mexican foods are my basic.

4 places I would rather be right now: Something nice apartment in Kichijoji in Tokyo, Maui and Big Island in Hawaii, Espana, Mexico.

4 favorite bands/singers: Def Tech, Monkey Majik, Ketsume-ishi, Usher

4 Bloggers I am tagging: Steve, Steve, Steve, and Steve.

I joined Namban-training tonight.
I was running for 5K TT, but I had sore knee though, stopped at 3k point.
I couldn't finishing 5k since it was too hot, and no motivation...
After that, went to Park for easy running for around 2.5k

today's efforts:
mileage: about 6k
time: ?

neighborhood's run after work for 6k

I ran in my neighborhood after work for around 6k at my HR pace. I was hoping to go for trail running on this Saturday but I have another plan so I'm unable to join, so shame.
Why do I like trail running? Fresh air, cool wind, smell green, some beer after running is most important, also food is yummy. A lot of people will be Mt.Fuji to prepare Mt. Fuji race, and farewell climbing event for Martin.

I do Ganbarou definitely tomorrow,

today's efforts
mileage: about 6k
time: couldn't caluculate, it stopped suddenly again.
75% for 2k, 80-85% for 2k, 80% for 2k

chimpan news channel

There is a midnight TV, it called Chimpan News Channel on Monday to Thursday Midnight around 24:30. A chimpanzee talks like a newscaster, I like this stupid TV program, very fun. I don't watch TV very often, but I sometime watch this when I am not still in futon. I recommend this if you are interested in funny japanese also it's not hard japanese, 10 mins short program.

I got a Rayban due to offering from running friend Fabrizio. I didn't ask to have one, but he asked me, "there is no your name on the list!" So I asked him to give me. Thanks for your kindness Fabrizio. I will enjoy running with Rayban this summer.

something negative

I'm very interested in adventure race, but there is not good race, ideal location, also ideal distance, mostly it's held in Nagano, or far off somewhere from Tokyo otherwise longest mileage.
I will go for trail running to Takao or Ome on July 1st with some Namban guys, so can not wait.

I'm getting lost my motivation for running, since I'm very slow on the track, every split getting slow my speed. Even I should enjoy running before hard training, I would like to run as I expect more. It's time to quite? change for something new? My efforts don't pay me off, so that feel blue.

today's efforts:
mileage: 9.6km
1,600m as warm up - 2,000m as a part of 10km -
1,000m - 2,000m - 1,000m - 2,000m as cool down
time: I didn't set my watch

amiga y amigos

My friend Roberto is visiting to Tokyo for business, so I took him to Tsukishima for Monja-yaki, to Ginza for Kabuki, Asakusa, Shibuya, and Renald's place. Now I'm forgetting my Spanish, I can't talk as before, so sad.

My friend Kanako is looking for job, but she can't find good one.
I'll meet her tomorrow and go to park for picnic and nap. According to the weather forecast it's going to be a beautiful day.

My friend Steve will try to run in a great adventure race.
