7-mile Training Night Run (Shibuya -> Yoyogi -> Shinjuku -> Koenji)

 

So hot in Tokyo that I did a 7-mile training night run from Shibuya (crossing location in Movie "Lost in Translation" to Shinjuku to Koenji. 3 weeks until half marathon! Support appreciated! :D

6-mile Training run! (Koenji <-> Asagaya x 6)

Amid the abnormally hot weather, I did another 6-mile training between my home station Koenji and the next station Asagaya under the train tracks in the shade. :) 異常な暑さのため、日陰の線路下で、自宅駅の高円寺と隣駅の阿佐ヶ谷間の6マイルのトレーニングをしました。 :)
