Hi there everyone! ?I hope you all had a chance to enjoy the sakura blossoms at their height! ?I sadly, made a mistake in planning things out. ?See, I was assuming that the blossoms would come later so I made plans for this weekend. ?I made silly plans.

I signed up for a mountain trail run.

It was my second trail run and my first mountain trail run, so I had no idea what to expect. ?All I knew was that it was in Samigahara, it was 18 kilometers and that I would have to wake up at 5am to be there on time. ?I hated it already.

So I got myself out of bed and after taking 3 trains and a bus, I was finally there. ?Now I knew a little more. ?It was a 6 kilometer course, meaning we would be doing three laps. ?Oh, and we would have to climb a mountain each time.

Still I had confidence. ?I run 20 kilometers once a week, so the distance is natural for me. ?I figured I would finish in 90-120 minutes and head home.

The race took me three hours.

I wasn’t expecting the mountain to be so steep so I didn’t have the right shoes. ?I almost fell down the mountain a few times! ?And it was also very tough on my legs, since the downhill parts were steep as well. ?Thankfully, I wasn’t even close to being the last one finished. ?That tells me that it was hard for everyone.

But it wasn’t all bad. ?It got to see some beautiful scenery and I got to challenge myself. ?Best of all, when I was finished, I got to go to an onsen! ?I definitely earned it.

So while I didn’t get to see sakura, I had a good experience overall.
