Week Of Running...And A Short Trip to Japan...

Didn't bike at all on the week days due to the super short days...

Tuesday I ran my 3.35mi loop in about 31:50 = 9:30 / mile...felt not real good but really pushed all the way...

Wednesday = 29:25 = 8:47 / mile...felt real good and ran smooth and fast, not really pushing as hard as yesterday...although...by my old standards...8:47 is NOT so fast...

Thursday = 34:00 = 10:08 / mile...felt tired and just cruised it...

Today, because of all the rain, I didn't do any riding...so instead, I took a trip to JAPAN!!! It was pretty short at only 56 min, 36 sec...ran smooth and medium fast, and felt good all the way. Ran in the kind of soothing misty rain that actually makes running feel nice for some reason...

For the first time, with my Ipod ONLY playing J-music all the way (usually, I play mixed)...I found this beautiful song...

Hana by Kosuke Atari...



For me, it was one of those songs that I connected with instantly...my kind of music. Fittingly so, this song was popular on the オリコン (Oricon) earlier this year in Japan...
