I'm planning to go this Saturday/Sunday to Ogawamachi.

Ogawamachi is a small place in Saitama. Thanks to Juergens generosity we can use it (while he is enjoying his trip to Germany). While nothing has been fixed  I'm thinking about a variety program consisting of some running, Izakaya visit, Onsen visit.

Arrival Saturday around 3pm and departure around Sunday 3-5pm.

Please contact me if you're interested in joining  (I'll be also at tomorrows Namban training).

Some friends and myself ran a 10k in Karben near Frankfurt in Germany, we came away with three age-group victories. I was not too happy with my 40:26, but hope to improve next week!…

Time flies, yes, our beloved WIRED<>FIT is already one year old! And yes, the runners were flying, too, this time around the track on Oda Field, split in three teams, with yours truly unable to overtake any of the other runners and ending up with the bronze medal! It was fun, and more fun is ahead!…

Through the love of running, and the love that runners have to help others in need, on April 30th, Waves of Hope for Japan run/walk held at Ormond Beach, Florida raised over $27000 for earthquake victims. 233 adults and 54 kids attended the event!
