summer greeting

It's hard to get motivation for running because of hot summer in Tokyo, but I started to run for a fall marathon on November, actually it's 102 days to go for it.


I have been taking yoga class in my neighborhood since January, it's very nice as stretching (I'm in the middle, in front of instructor on picture) and core strength. Due to my efforts(?) my legs are more flexible, also all my body feels better. I took a workshop the other day, the point was shoulders. We learned how shoulders move, made some simple basic poses, but it was really nice class.






I have been running in trail running courses as well as I could do since June! my running is getting better even though I look very heavy on a cross country course where an Olympic gold medalist Noguchi Mizuki trains in camp. I was hoping to run there but it was very very hard run, I was satisfied with only 3loops...distance is 12km plus jogged as a cool down for 2km.






I went to Kamakura as beginning, Mt. Fuji running up, Ome, Mitake, Mt. Tanzawa etc...
10 people joined in Mitake for hike and run on the first Sunday of August, I showed a cool trail running course for 12km, it's like a adventure race course because of cliff, and variety different, actually I like this course. We found a beetle which was hanging on a tree. I only took a picture, and let him go.




Next race is a trail race "OSJ Ohtaki cross marathon" on September 15th in Ohtaki village in Nagano, it should be a hard one, but I really hoping to run in a trail race, so I can't wait for it.

Mr.Lacey!

日本語うまいじゃ~ん。
でも連取じゃなくて練習だよ。
"rennsyuu"とタイプすると、漢字が候補に表示されるよ、試してね。

クワガタなんてここ何十年も必要としない単語でした、子供のころが懐かしいなー。って分かる???
