4-mile training walk (Koenji<->Asagaya)

This training was dedicated to E.T., a fellow blood cancer survivor who supported me a few years ago and now is undergoing treatment. Two weeks before my half marathon to stomp blood cancers!

Hopefully, someday in my lifetime, I can say with certainty that I'm cured and 100% "freed"
from

 the possibility of relapse!
