Nobeyama Ultramarathon

18th MAY
Nobeyama Ultra-marathon

This was the second time to run a 100km marathon.
Obviously I was short of training this time, and I was afraid that I couldn't finish the race. Recently I have had too much injury and have to reflect it seriously.
In anyway, the race had come and I had to do my best.
Last year it was fine but a little cold(2℃~12℃). In this year it was also luckily fine and warm. We could enjoy not only the race but also the scenery of Yatugatake.


I started with tne anxiety of my left kee. Just after atart, I had a little pain with my knee, but it had gotten easier and easier. So I could keep running.

A cheering party of my family at the point of 45km

I realized that I was short of trainig. I had already had the muscle pain at 30km point. I felt much harder in this time than last time.


At the 71km point. I ate too much Soba here.

Of course, running through 100km was vey hard, but we were so happy that we could run all through the day without doing anything.
I could have so much time to think about many things.


Thanks for the cheering that gave me the power to finish the race!

Family mountaineering up to Mout. Takao

It was fine and the best day for the family mountaineering. Firstly I was afraid the younger daughter gave up climbing on the way to the top. But she could finish the very good job! The rice balls that we ate on the top of the Mount. Takao was the one of the most delicious dishes that we have ever eaten!

Mount. Takao is the most crowded mountain in the world.


They did very good jobs!


Too many people. But there is still a lot of nature.

left knee pain....

It's time not to run, but to swim! I have a lot of things to be able to do. I reset my mind and will go to the gymnasium to swim.

calm and easy holiday

In Japan we call the holiday "Golden Week". We have a series of four holidays! But I wonder only four holidays are not enough for being called Gold.
In the morning it was raining but it was fine in the afternoon. We went to the Koganei Park.

The blue sky has come in front of us!


It's getting warm and is very pleasant for taking a walk.

In the park there was a small zoo? and we could touch the animals there.
