Jurgen,
Thank you to welcome me.
It seems to take while for me to figure how to use this. But will update little by little.

Kommt. Shou Shou o machi kudasai.

juergen,

Sorry for mistaken your name.
I wish I could go to run in Japan or Korea too.
Have you watched the Korean movie My Marathon?
It's great.

Hi Juergen
Not this Wednesday, in China on business. Also did the Ome trail race on Sunday, so still limping on two legs, probably catch up next week. Cheers Ger.

Yep

Hi Juergen,
We are coming to Tokyo to check out how good these Namban runners really are!! Hope you are in good form and aiming for more PB's. We will arrive on Sunday evening, October 5 and have three full days before flying out on on Thursday, October 9.
Gerard said we can go to the Wednesday night dinner at the club.

Juergen

Many many thanks for your high comments on my work. Going camping so out of email reach for a few days. Oh, my BLUE4 is on display in OmoteSandou (go to BLUE4 on my site), so if you have time (ONLY if you have nothing better to do).

Juergen-Thanks for the positive vibes. Yeah, I broke my elbow Aug 5th! Due out of the cast next week. It will be a challenge to get these extra kilos off. Stay cool.

Hey Juergen! Thanks for the warm welcome!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Thanks for your kind reply. I am still learning how to navigate your website. I will definitely plan on attending a run, training or event! If work permits. I will check into what you have mentioned and get back to you. I be interested in in the 10 K for sure.

Could get directions and more info on the Track on Wednesday, - Party on Oct. 2./3 and 10k race on Oct. 10
Special how to get there from Daiba.

Arigatogozaimasu!! I got big horn like a trumpet in India! I'll show you at meeting.

Long story, short. There's seems to be a bio-mechanical issue on my right hip. More specifically, the small muscle that keeps the hip centered. It seems to be "stressed" and it pulls in too much. As a consequence when I step on the ground, the right foot doesn't land well, causing swelling on my right foor big toe. The funny thing is that his discomfort happens regardless if I run 10 miles or if I am walking around. Standing for long periods of time (like what I did Monday and Tuesday) doesn't help. While running longer distances, just a little bit f awareness helps me focus to land my foot properly. (cont->)

continued -> Doing small, daily stretches related to the hip and the yoga pose pigeon posed have been very helpfull and with noticeable results. I have been going to an osteopah doctor that practices with athletes. He is good but I starting to think that I need to "cure the cause".

Thanks for letting me know about the Wednesday training sessions. Unfortunately, I work until 21.30 so can't make them. But up for any Sunday and Monday runs as they are my free days. Hopefully see some of you soon.

I'm hoping to be there some time between Feb and May. Haven't decided exactly when yet.

Hey Juergen, thanks for the messages! No, no, no and no, I did not run Badwater (yet) but I would be totally wishing to do it one day...Good training..until then! ;-)

Hi Jeurgen, just added a photo. I am a long time resident in Japan but have only recently got back into running. Consider me a newbie.

It seems most events require 2-3 months advance registration. Is there a summary table out there with event, location and registration cut off date? I can see a strong need to be very organized to participate. Regards, ppl

Thanks for the welcome. Seems it was just a problem with cookies.

See you soon

Hi, Juergen!

Thanks for the warm welcome! You've got a great site here! Lots of friendly members. I'll post a profile picture as soon as I find one. I don't have many of myself around.

hi juergen wittstock i fell your interst i appricahte your idea so how we work on this area i need your comment

Yeah Petr enjoyed it a lot. He thinks himself as more of a "short-distance" runner :)

Thank you for the nice welcome! I'm glad to be here and look forward to seeing people either at races or training runs.

I'm thinking about it. I think you all will be much more advanced than I am. Is it OK to join as a beginner?

Fancy doing Gyeongju 10k on April 9? Cherry Blossom Festival.

Abraham Kissos will be running the marathon. He should win it. His best time is 2:25. He then intends to run the 10k race the following day at the Daegu Marathon Festival.

Maybe you could do both!! Race in your T6 flats at Gyeongju and the Green Silence's at Daegu.

So if you fancy doing either or both events email me and I'll register you.

I just checked the Oxfam dates, which seem to be May 13-15. Unfortunately I'll be doing the Yatsugatake Nobeyama Kougen 100km on the 15th, and since that has a time limit of 14 hours I'm not sure that I'm up for doing them back-to-back.

 

There aren't that many ultras in Japan to begin with, it's beyond comprehension that the event coordinators would double book two of them!

 

Hope you're enjoying Hong Kong!

thanks jurgen! ok, done. enjoy Hong Kong!

yes, my dog cody! he runs with me almost every day. he also loves to swim...if you look closely at the photo you may notice his wet paw prints leading out of the fountain behind him.....
