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

Due to the abnormally hot weather, I did a 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。 :)

Training Walk (Tsukiji -> NCC -> Hama-rikyu Gardens)

After stopping by St. Luke's International University, I did a training walk from Tsukiji to Hama-rikyu Gardens. On the way, I passed by the National Cancer Center where I had cancer treatment twice and I still go for follow-up checkups given my blood cancer type is hard to cure. Hama-rikyu Gardens are always beautiful and peaceful! Grateful! GO TEAM!
