Off,off,off and off....

I was on night duty yesterday and today awful drowsiness took me into the bed. So off and off.... Moreover I'll go for a drink tomorrow and attend a small congress the day after tomorrow. So it'll be off, off, off and off!! I have to avoid such a situation by all means. Get up early next morning and run, if could be.....

The first step

We my family enjoyed hiking around Tominnomori in Hinohara-mura.This was the first step for my daughters to begin moutaineering... It was a little late for the red and yellow autumn leaves but we could see icicles in the river and many frost flowers.
So we could experience both autumn and winter scenery.


The pass was steeper than I thought.

One of icicles in the river

dried persimmons Look very sweet but we couldn't eat them
This Dango is the reward for us who kept it up.

good couple day

It is extremely cold. And there is another reason not to run?????
My wife went for a drink with her friends(a year-end party), so my daughters and I ate out.
By the way, in Japan, today is the day for good married couple. (you can read 11-22 as "i-i-hu-hu"). I deeply appreciate all what my wife and daughters give me.

Today's training: off

Cold day

I was hit by cold wind completely and ran back home.
The important thing is to believe that tomorrow'll make me change,...perhaps...

Today's training: 6km slow jog

Happy birthday

Today is my younger daughter's birthday.(but it's busy today so we held the birthday party last Saturday.) Her present was Korirakkuma?


Last night it was a little hard because a Pt of Lithium poisoning came in 1:00 am and we had to care her till morning (include hemodialysis). I fell asleep just after coming home. So I couldn't make an enough time to run.


Today's training: 8km run
monthly mileage for November 134km


Today's one point emergency medicine(from today I'll begin one point lecture of ER!!)
" Lithium poisoning"
Lithium carbonate is an effective drug in the treatment of manic depressive illness. However, it may induce multisystem dysfunction which, if not recognized, may be fatal. Findings that may be observed include neuromuscular disorder, seizures,coma and so on. Many text book tell that the plasma lithium concentration is a good parameter of clinical course and treatment,but in most hospitals like us they can't get the result of the plasma concentration timely. So we have to decide how to treat it in terms of clinical presentation.The most difficult point is to decide whether to do Hemodialysis or not. Lithium is the most dialyzable toxin known.

Mitake-san Trail running

It was a little chilly but fine and good for trail.
Jumping into the 6:11 train and began to run from Musashiitukaichi station to Mitake San and enjoy the autumn scenery around the Mitake-San and then returned to Musashiitukaichi again.


They said leaves didn't turn red beautifully in this year.

The water of the waterfall was very cold!!!
Off course I didn't jump into the waterfall.



Oshiruko made in Mitake-san. Sweet gave me the power to run back to the Musashiitukaichi.

Today's training: 30km trail run
monthly mileage for November 126km

Bad day or Good day?

Cold wind took my running motivation, but it was also the best situation to try my new windbreaker!!!


Yesterday a twenty seventh years old young man fell down with ventricular fibrillation "Vf" while playing football with his friends at a gymnasium. Immediately one of his friends started CPR and the other brought an AED and delivered shock two times and got the recovery of spontaneous circulation.
Soon after the emergency medical service "EMS" arrived and dispatched him to our hospital. while dispatch, he fell down several times and was delivered three times shock by EMS.
Finally his cardiac rhythm was Vf on arrival,so we continued to deliver DC (total was four times) and give several drugs for arrhythmia. At last we got his stability and he had no neurological deficit!!!
We could talk with him about his friends ,fiance and so on.
Great by standers, great EMS staffs and great our ER team!!? It was a GOOD day!

Today's training: 15km slow jog

New shoes!

I bought two running shoes last Tuesday as training ones those had soft soles but weight a little heavily. Both were Asics(I forgot the name..GelXXXX?) and not so bad,but I thought Mizuno "Wave Rider" was the one of the best shoes for training.
Why not bought Mizuno? Because I like Asics "Gel Fuji" and to tell the truth I chose the cheaper ones...I regret a little...
Today I'm on night duty so could run only in the morning.

Today's training: 8km jog in the morning
Monthly mileage for November: 81km

Off

My condition is so good but had no time to run today. I'm afraid I can't achive my monthly target mileage "300km" . But it's important to take a rest for tomorrow!?

Today's training: off

Next target

I have only a slight cough so I could recover perfectly. Instead of me, my wife had had a terrible cold from Monday.....
Anyway my condition is very good so I can think about my next target.Next race is Mitakesan mountaineering race on 9tn December but it's very short race(15km) so I decide that my next target is a full marathon on March.

The Artsports which is a sports shop where there are many trail run goods present free photos of Hasetune Cup. This was a one of those I could get.

Next December my older daughter will be seven years old so we held Shichi-go-san today. From early in the morning we went to a barber to make her hair style match a Kimono,then went to the shop to make her wear a Kimono,to take photos and went to Tanashi-shrine. Finally we(include grandparents)had late lunch at a restaurant. It was a long day...

Shichi-go-san is a Japanese traditional festival to celebrate the growth of children. Boys of five, girls of seven and three-year-old boys and girls will be taken to a shrine by their parents in order to give thanks to God for His help.

Ekiden

Today ekiden carnival was held in Syouwakinenn-Koen in Tachikawa.
Terrible to say it was rainy and cold today and still more my cold was bad ,especially I was coughing violently. So I took a cough medicine(Codeine phosphate) which was very effective.Barely I run 10km but I have to reflect my health care.mmmmmm. Anyway we drunk supreme beer after race.Off course just running is interesting but relay is more interesting because it makes a sense of solidarity.

Mt Kumotori and Mt Fuji

I woke up at 4:00 am and went to Okutama. The bus was full of hikers and most of them were the 50's or 60's(?). Their power was admirable! I climbed up Mt Kumotori at first where we could see the marvelous Mt Fuji, then run along the mountain ridges. It was a good season to see the autumn scenery, such as colorful fallen leaves. Finally today's goal was Moeginoyu(Onsen).

world above the clouds

Mt Kumotori (highest in Tokyo) and Mt Fuji(highest in Japan) Can you see Mt Fuji?

Mt Fuji again.... I declare that I'll challenge the Mt Fuji climbing race next year again.

trail running in the autumn breeze

Today's training: 30km trail running

Kumotori

I took a rest today to prepare for tomorrow's trail run??
I will climb Kumotori-Yama for the first time. It's the highest mountain in Tokyo and about 2000m height but it's so popular that even older hikers can climb safely. So I'm sure I can trail-run swiftly.

Today's training: off

Last 8 days to Ekiden

I will participate Ekiden(relay) on 10th November with my hospital staffs. I will run the 10km part.It's the first part. So I have to change my body from as a long distance runner to a short one.
