Training

The puppies woke me up at 4 a.m and after attending to them there was no excuse for me to miss the Tuesday morning ‘new’ training group. Last week I went straight back to sleep and felt guilty. I arrived about 5 minutes early (5:15)by lazy car and there was nobody there. Then they all

I woke up at 4:15a.m this morning with the intention of going to my first morning run in Fukuda but within about 5 seconds decided to go back to sleep. Feeling guilty about that most of the day I did a lot. Well, a lot more than I usually do. 1: Home center. More pebbles

Today was my first Sunday morning in a long time. Last week was puppy sitting, the week before was Tokyo Marathon, the weeks before then were running or raining. I got the puppies weighed and checked before 6:30, had the bike ready by 7 and was at the start right on time at 7:30. My

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

Just got home. Was a bit cold but worse than that a strong head wind on our sprint point. I just took it easy waiting till the last lap and then I got stuck at a traffic signal as the police were passing. Therefor getting dropped and having no chance of finishing strongly. Just as
