Season for trailrun

After I went to ski last week, I waxed my skies and change the tires from snow ones to normal ones.
The season for trailrun has begun in my mind.
I went trailrunning with Mr.G from Takao St. to Mt. Jinba. There were so many hikers and trailrunner, but sunshine, breeze, shade of trees and many slopes are all comfortable for us!

DNF!

I had a plan which was the same as I did last year.
We would went to Titibu to see Shibazakura. My wife and daughters would go there by train and I on foot.
I woke up 5 o'clock and started bound for Titibu...with new shoes.... But on the way (about 10km) I had a terrible pain with my outer ankle because of the NEW shoes.... I tried everything to relieve the pain(applying plasters, heel up by paper and so on).. and then I gave up running.
We went there by train together. It was so crowded that it was as if a commuter train!

Although it was awfully crowded, shibazakura was very beautiful.

You can see Mt. Bukou behind shibazakura.

Lovely flowers!
