Today Olympian Mara Yamauchi, who came in 3rd in Sunday's Tokyo International Women's Marathon in a PB of 2:25:03, visited Namban Rengo at Oda Field!
I felt really honored when she said that her running career in Japan started with Namban Rengo. For those who do not know, some Sunday in early 1998 (if I recall correctly) Siu-Fong Ma and myself ran a time-trial in Enoshima. Ma raced agains a young British lady named Emma. She lost the…

It's been a while since my last race (Honmonji 10K). I figured what better way to get back into it than to run my first official Half Marathon. Although the weather was wet beforehand, it was actually cool and comfortable during the race. I pulled in at
1:41:10, well under my target of 1:45:00. The first 10K was slow (49:57) but I was able to get it together on the back half (splits around 4:35). Happy: yes. Sore: もちろん。 I wonder how I would…

I run New York City Marathon. Goal time was 2:58:23. This was may first time NYCM. I had enjoyed it.
I felt a bit tired before start. I though I had damage that I had 100km marathon and full marathon 3weeks ago. My condition was not perfect. But, I did own my best. I am very happy that I finished under 3 hours.
I thought New York City Marathon was very…

Just completed the New Balance Gold Coast 15 Km Race ( 黄金海岸15K賽 ] in the windy but hot morning at Ting Kau in an OK time of 83 mins today. It's 8 days after my back pain returned intensively. I could hardly walk at the first day while my back pain returned. I became much better after received a massage by a Chinese practitioner on last friday.
I was happy to see so many runners friends today including Eric, CHIN, MikeC, Lesile, Kitty, Pauline and others from hkrunners.com. I was also…

今日は南蛮連合のメンバー五人で小田原マラソン大会でました。ユ-ルゲンは五キロ後四人睦美、ダンヤル、ストユワット、ジェラルドは十キロ。天気は快晴でした。気温が涼しいし湿度も低いしそれに風がなかったです。走るにはちょうど良かったです。コ-スは川隣りにありました。コ-スから富士山が見られました。皆さんのレ-ス結果良かったと思います。自己ベストあるいはよく頑張ったから。ダンヤルは56.09自己ベスト、ストユワットも自己ベスト37.30、睦美46分ちょうど、ユ-ルゲン(五キロ)18.29、ジェラルド34.48。レ-スの後近くそば店で南蛮連合人達が召し上がりました。皆さん、お疲れ様でした。ジェラルド。

This is just the best little semi-inaka race in the area!
All race-officials should be trained there!
Results:
Gerard - 34:48 Stuart - 37:29 Mutsumi - 46:00 Daniel - 56:09 Juergen - 18:29 (5k)
Not much to add to Daniel's praise, well, the soba-shop and the onsen were also great!
I was happy to run 18:29, considering I had not practiced for the 5k, and place 4th - just too bad I didn't have the 8 seconds to catch the…

Sunday November 2nd, 2008. Sunny, no wind, great views of Fuji san.
Second race in Odawara and a great success. I had a PB at 10K, negative split and a PB for the 5K.
Five Namban runners (J., M., G., S. and Daniel S.) met at Odawara Houtoku 10k, a pleasant race with many views of Mt. Fuji, 90 minutes out of Shinjuku by Odakyu-Line train. We left in Shinjuku at 7:01 and arrived in Tomizu at 8:30. Reception was well organized and same day applications were gracefully…

Having completed the HKDRC Half Marathon ( 香港長跑會 第31屆 香港半馬拉松 ) in an very disappointed time of 124 mins+. It's also my worst half marathon record in 2008.
I was happy to meet so many runners friends and colleagues in the race including MJ, Crazy Treadmill, Alan, Wilson, Gills and others from LongRun.hk. Also felt happy to meet MikeC, CHIN, George and other runners from hkrunners.com. Nice to meet Ma Wong, Rebecca, Running Man from Leisure Racer Club. I was happy to see so many… Continue

On this weekend, 11th Oct. Saturday, I, Jon san and Tamami san were enjoyed 10Km race in Nakamachidai, Yokohama.
First of all, please let me correct Jon's bog title...actually the race is called Japan EU Friendship Run. The race was part of the German School's October Festival.
The Friendship Run started in last year and then this year was 2nd time. In last year, the race was a small local race and almost all Japanese participants were from Yokohama because even the race was announced…

Tamami-san and I went out to a place called Nakamachidai and ran a 10Km race at the Invitation of fellow Nambaner Chika-san at a German School.
I would say about 400 people plus a kids run of 2.5Km.
A double out and back course over some slight inclines and a few rough spots.Mostly on a path.
A well organised race despite the wierd starting position around an uphill narrow path.
Not a fast course but enjoyable enough.
Tamami-san improved her PB from 49.49 to…

一ノ関国際ハ-フマラソン 2008年9月28日の大会は良い経験です。一ノ関は新幹線で、東京から二時間半ぐらいかかります。本当の田舎です。そこで山の景色が少なくないし川もあるしそれに人達が優しいです。レ-スの前の日皆さんは東京から一ノ関へ行った。りえさんのご家族家に泊まりました。一ノ関に着ったから東京へ戻すまでりえさんのご家族親切にお世話になりました。レ-スのでる南蛮連合クラブ人達はりえさん、ちかさん、たまみさん、ジョンさんとジェラルド。コ-スは面白ろかったです。一般的にフラットでもあちこち色々坂がありました。しかもちょっと涼しかった風。レ-ス時は気持良かったから気温は16。9度そして湿度は61パセント、それで東京に住んでいる人嬉しかったです。その結果は走りやすいです。
南蛮連合人達よく頑張りました。
タイムは
ジョンとたまみ一緒に走った、たまみ自己ベスト一時間四十七分、ちか一時間三十八分、りえ一時間三十二分
ジェラルド一時間十九分四十八秒。皆さん、おめでとうございます、お疲れ様でした。
ジェラルド。

Three Nambanners and one Korean friend took part in this race on a demanding course at Mt. Namsan in downtown Seoul. Fortunatly, it was only 15min walk from Fabrizio's hotel. The people were very friendly, and every participant got a lot of presents, including Korean 'Nori', but there was nothing for the winners, as it was considered a 'friendship' race. It was fun though, to be mentioned by the announcer and be on the pics with the…

Today four Nambanners ran the Goyang Marathon (10k) in Daehwa near Seoul. The two women did well, with Mutsumi placing 5th in 45:09, and Satoe (Michael Tandler's girlfriend) finishing the 5k.
BUT! The men's race was a mess! Michael and I ran in a group in 6-9 place, after 3k we ran into the slow half-runners, and when the 5k came, nobody told us where to turn!! I dropped out at nine and made friends…

二〇〇八年八月二十四日富士吉田火祭りハ-フマラソンレ-スがありました。南蛮連合人達エドクリ-スとジェラルドロブ一緒に始めてことでハ-フでました。レ-スの日午前四時四十分起きました、多摩川から富士吉田へ行きました、行った時バナナを食べながら電車に乗りました、しかもふさわしい飲み物を飲みました。レ-スの前体育館で服をかえました、これからワ-ムアップしました。レ-ス時大雨が降りました。気温は涼しかったので体温に良かった天気でした。大会の名前ロ-ドレ-スでも時々コ-スはトライル見たかったです。コ-スはだいたい上坂と下坂も、実はあまりフラットでませんした。面白かったです。レ-スでエドとジェラルド十八キロまで一緒に走りました。その後エドはちょっと速かったです。
タイムはエド一時間二十二分四十五秒、ジェラルド一時間二十四分二十秒 。お疲れ様でした。経験が良かったです、楽しかったです。多摩川へ戻したら、エドの奥さんのおいしいバナナケ-キとテイ-召し上がった、のんびりしました。それで走るの日終わりました。
