Kodaira-triangle is one of my favorite courses

You can find many kinds of birds on Tamagawa-jyousui and on Nobidome-yousui.

Snow Board

I like ski better than snow board, but I have my rule that I do snow board once a year so in this time I enjoyed snow board.

By the way, it'll be on night duty tomorrow so I'll restart my training from the day after tomorrow.

We stayed at senkyou"仙郷" in Oigami-onsen.

It was spectacular ice needles.

We enjoyed Onsen as well as snow board.

off

The Working Week has finished!! And from tomorrow ten members of critical care staffs including me will go skiing for two days. So off-days will continue... no problem... What kind of alchohol should I take???

Gakkyuu-heisa?

At the class of my older daughter Influenza is prevalent and many classmates was absent from school, so it was temporary closing of classes from today. And my wife has caught a cold from yesterday!! So today we'll drink Amazake not beer.

Today's training: off

Running in a cold wind

It was fine but very windy. A cold wind took my motive for running, but finally I could went runnning because of .........the BEER I could drink after running.
Ordinary a wind gives a harder time to runners than a rain, but sometimes the wind sounds like cheering in stead of getting in the way!

Today's training: 20km slow jog(still pain in left thigh...)
Monthly mileage for January: 164km

Snow in Tokyo again

In this time it's snowing more than before.
Here are scenery of snow in Kodaira from our hospital.




I'm on night duty today, so it's off today.

Off

In this week and the next week our ICU staffs go skiing separately. I belong to the second group, so in this week I have to work harder than usual as one of staffs staying in the hospital.


The ryokan(Japanese style hotel) the first group stay is one of the best hotel I have ever been. "仙仁温泉　岩の湯"

today's training: off

Ski in Hakkaisan

I woke up 4:00 o'clock and went skiing with my hospital staff. The Hakkaisan ski area is in Muikamachi of Niigata Pref. This area is famous for it's steep slope and irregular slope which they don't make even, so you can enjoy the "non-smooth slope".
Off course I have forgotten my pain of the left thigh???


In this area there are a rope way on which 81 people can ride, and you can reach the top fast.


Today's training: ski

A peaceful day

It's an off day today. My daughters and I went to Koganei Park. There are many kinds of slides,swings,mazes made of woods and so on.

The Green Road leads to Koganei Park.


You can feel the changes of the seasons in this park.


..........One daughter.......

..........Two daughters.......

Today's training: off

I love Gyouza!

I jogged slowly again. Although the left thigh has been getting better, there are still pain. Today's goal(the turn point) was Higashiyamato Central Park.


This is the best gyouza in Japan!!"Shinmikaku" I belive firmly...


The sauce "Tare" is very important point. Plenty of crushed garic is essential,but you can't have a talk with anyone at close range on the next day!!

.........

After night duty I went jogging but couldn't run as I like.
To tell the truth, I got little injured again....... When I was skiing in Minakami I tried to attack the irregular slope and there I got my left thigh inside stretched too much! I'm afraid I can't run for a while....

Today's training: 12km slow jog

At night we drunk beer! I think this is one of the best beer I have known.

What are you thinking about while running?

I used to run to think about nothing at all,that is to say, run to forget all thing about work, duty, some human relations, and so on. I can make my head empty while running!
Nowadays partially the same thing can be said, but in addition I'm running to think about something fun.
Go forward and keep running!

The New Years Days have passed in no time. And ordinary life began again, but I belive there will be something new in the new year!

Make up my mind.....

About one month has passed after I got injury and nowadays I can run as I like.
So the time has come to do "pace running" and "interval training" to prepare for the full marathon. But these hard training are the last one that I want to do.....
I will do it from next week!
