Cycling

Once the cold wind died down today I did the same jog as the other day across the bridge and around the golf course. Had to race back home to the toilet though. I won by a second. Trots came 2nd. Certainly good motivation to pick the pace up a bit and introduce some yoga

Was hard to get out of bed, but I’d gotten all my stuff ready so was easy to get out the door and onto the freezing cycling path that is Edogawa. I was already running late so I spun fast and got there in time and well warmed up. (Nagareyama Bridge). We split into groups

Recently been using mixi more and need to brush up on my crappy Japanese skills. 昨日、クリスマスだったということで、思わず食べ過ぎてしまった人は多いのではないでしょうか？ 僕もそのうちの一人です！！　お腹が張って胃が痛くなるまで食べてしまいました。　アルコールも入ったため、そのまま寝てしまい、後は恐怖の体重増加へと一直線(汗)。。。 そのため、今日は昨日の食べ過ぎによる体重増を防ぐために、近所のゴルフ場にジョギングへ(今日は暖ジョギング日和だし)。 ５キロばかり走りましたが、これも昨日の食べすぎに対しては焼け石に水！？ 今日からご飯の量を減らさなくては！！　あっ、でも後１週間後にはお正月のおせち料理が。。。。意志薄弱な僕です。。。 2008年の二月大樹は９５ｋｇだった。 今朝８５ｋｇ。先月８３ｋｇ。 あと１０ｋｇ。

It’s not about the bike it’s about the bonk. Just found out that Lance Armstrong is expecting his fourth child, and first with girlfriend Anna Hansen.

My hip is still a bit out of alignment from my fall a few weeks ago so took it easy. Went across the Noda bridge over to Saitama and did a lap around the golf course. My calf didn’t seize up like last time and was nice to see all the golfers and wild life.

This time last year we were up in Hakuba staying at my brother’s house. The snow had just started falling and for the next three days we were experiencing the heaviest snow storm to hit the area in over 20 years. Since then I’ve been up and stayed about 6 or 7 times taking the

Seeing as Santa may get in our way tomorrow night we held our Noda Night Criterium training tonight. I didn’t wear my shoe covers so my feet are still feeling bad as I type this now. I got my shoes off and knew my toes were a little numb. Then in the shower mixing my

Shock! Horror! アラマ！ Words that could trigger Koji in my mind sometimes… postcards, attack or harmonica, but not retire. Especially as he is the ‘younger’ brother. I usually check Koji’s blog once or twice a month and the other day I clicked on his English blog to see that he has announced his retirement on

Cold. Rain. Mud. Wet. I joined TCC’s B team for some end of year wheel spinning, mud sliding, rain dodging racing. We intended to do 30 minute runs but at the last moment, due to the wet and cold decided we only wanted to be out there once and therefore did 1 hour shifts. I

Last Friday I rode to work and on the way home got caught in a thunderstorm. After dodging 2 trucks and a woman who went around a corner in front of me without looking, I managed to slide off a steel grate in front of a 7/11 and attempt to break my thigh/hip, & shoulder
