I`m currently waiting for my 6:30 flight to Korea. But before I go I`ve really enjoyed my stay. It`s been great catching up with everyone I know, and a pleasure to meet others for the first time.

I run Beppu-Oita Marahon yesterday.

Finish time was 2:44:58. I tried t break my PB(2:43:40)

I am very happy.

Weather condition was bit warmer for marathon.

 It was a good sunny day. So,I enjoyed  a scenic beautiful

seaside course.
