Ota-Ku 10k

Frank-Arnaud Mehl was the one bright spot on an otherwise underperforming Namban team, finishing the 10k in a PB of 38:18. An out-of-shape Mutsumi ran 48:24, Juergen was happy with a 39:41, not too bad after recovering from a long-lasting cold.
Unfortunately, Kiki and Daniel had to cancel, so the team was a bit small this year...

Renard Gregoire meets Tokyo's most waterproof running club!

On Dec. 17., in heavy rain, Namban Rengo as usually had the biggest group on an otherwise almost deserted track. One reason may have been Renard's presence, as he had moved to South Africa a few months ago and was just back for one track work-out! Good to see you again, Renard!

Fukuoka Marathon

The annual Fukuoka Marathon was held as usual on the first Sunday in December. Conditions were favourable and commentators were hoping for a fast race.

A group of Japanese and international runners, mostly invitational, went through the 5k in 15:07.

15k passed at a relatively slow 45:25, with still about 15 runners in the leading pack. The runners reached the half-marathon mark in 1:04:01, with commentators speculating that the slow pace would favour Japanese runners. At this point,… Continue

大田原マラソン大会2008話

大田原マラソン大会というとでる南蛮連合人達が多いです。今年も同じ事です。全部で三十七人ぐらいです。マラソンの後皆さんは旅館に泊まりました。旅館で和食がおいしいお風呂も良いしそれに布団は寝やすかったです。レ-スの日の晩旅館で、走るじゃなくて他の事見られました。例えばカラオケです。エドさんは最初歌いました。上手見たかったです。自分で新しい歌言葉作って歌いました。まみと由香は特別な踊る事皆さんに見せました。そしてパデイ-さんは80sの歌を歌いました。カラオケ終わった、畳部屋パティ-ル-ムに入りました。そこで皆さん遊んだり食べたり楽しみました。
つぎの明日和食朝御飯を食べたり楽しい会話をしたり、人達はちょっと走ったか散歩しました。その後車か新幹線で東京に帰りました。2008年大田原マラソン経験が良かったです。
