Back to work on Wednesday! Boooo! Went for the golf course run this morning. Tried to go faster than last week and although I knocked 5 minutes off my usual pace it was not fast enough to get into the 9kph range. Completed the run at 8.4kph. The new shoes felt good. Legs felt stronger than previous runs and I tried to increase my stride length just a little. Just near the end of the golf course I could hear a simultaneous… fore!!!!!!!!!! in the distance and a golf ball fly about a meter above my head landing just in front of me. I tipped my cap and kept going as the ball rolled into the trenched water hazard boundary. I’m sure it was a woman and she probably saw me and said to herself, ‘OK, I’ll hit the ball away from that runner and aim straight for the pin.’. Lady, that’s the worst thing you should of thought to yourself. If yo’d waited just 5 or 10 more seconds I would have been out of range and almost behind the green.

I then waited till 1p.m for my gym to accept me and got on my MTB with the new flat pedals and headed off for a workout. Typical, today being a gym holiday. To further use up my bad luck for the day I decided to buy some scratch lottery tickets on the way home. 5 X 200 yen worth. At least one of them was a 200 yen back return.

To finish the day off, I’ll head over to the new Lake Town Aeon shopping mall. Biggest in Japan. Possibly the world.  pdf
