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!…

Eiko Nishida (upper right) lead us through the back streets of Shibuya, past bakeries, cosy cafes, and, of course, embassies - in today's case, the Royal Danish Embassy and the Bulgarian Embassy! She asked questions about the country at every embassy, but they were a bit difficult for yours…

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!

Ho Tsai, the organizer, who had been in Japan when the quake struck, said she had been inspired by our charity at Saiko Eco 5k. Of course, we would have been happy if she had come, but as her absence gave her the chance to organize such a…

Pleasing run yesterday. Competed in the 10k event as part of the Adidas MBC marathon festival in Misari just outside Seoul-sorry no pictures as I forgot my camera. Overall 18 000 runners competed in one of the marathon, half, 10k, and 5k races. And yours truly finished 5th in 35:48, so a good sign of how things are at this stage of my preparation for the Gold Coast marathon in 12 weeks.
