go to Ome

Power Spot in Ome
We had a plan to go trail with four staffs. They would run trail at first. But the whetherforcast said spring storm would come and rain cats and dogs.
So I canceled the event and went for trailrun alone.
While running, I met two trailrunners and ran to the goal with them.

Ome trail course

I had run Ome trail course in the Takamizu trail race, but this was the first time to run there as a training.
It was very near from Ome station and there are enough up and down.
It is very good course for training! But it was terriblly hot today and I couldn't run as I wanted to.
The goal was Kabe-onsen and I presented myself a big glass of beer for a good job?!

Mmmmmm....

I ran in the dark to check my rights.
I started at 4:30AM and tried to see the sunrize on the top.

I was sorry that I couldn't see the sunrize because of many clouds.

There are only 6 days before the race.

I was relieved because I could run. But when I came home I felt pain by my right foot. My plantar fascitis became worse....
I should take a rest till the race . I must take a rest......

I could reflesh my spirit!

There were few people in the trail on weekday.

The only person in the rock garden

Last trail in 2008

To tell the truth, I was lazy in trail run in this year partly because I couldn’t participate in the Japan mountaineering race(Hasetune race).
I swear, promise that I will run the mountains as much as possible in 2009 and will enjoy mountaineering races ( have a afford to enjoy races).

In this year I had many events and had a nice time. I appreciate all persons that I had met and all the events that I could have. Thanks for nice year!

25th July
Mt. Fuji mountain race was held. This was the second time to participate in it.
The most characteristic point of this race is it's severe time limit. So the atmosphere before the start is quite different from other races. Most of the runners try to keep better potion to start earlier. (there are over 2600 runners and some of the trail is single track )


Mt.Fuji in the dawn. You can see the light of huts.
