Hi there everyone! ?It is definitely getting colder in Yokohama, though I thought rainy season was supposed to be over by now! ?I’m not a fan! ?However, while I don’t like the rain, there are times when I like gloomy and overcast weather, and that is when I have to go running. ?And this month I will be doing lots of running. See, I will be running in the Honolulu Marathon with some of my coworkers this weekend and I have to get in shape quickly. ?Unfortunately that means I will have to do a lot of running, working out and dieting. ?In other words, I will likely be irrational and angry by the time November comes around, but hopefully in better shape.

So, step one: running. ?A couple months ago I decided to sign up for a load of races. ?The problem is I ended up signing myself up for 3 half marathons this month and one full marathon. ?The first one I did was just 2 days ago. ?I took a very (very) early morning train and headed to Choshi, on the Northern side of Chiba. ?It is mostly popular for its sunrise, which (I believe) is the first sunrise of the year, being the farthest east point of Japan.

But it also has a half marathon that has apparently been going on for a long time. ?So I took the early train and laced up my shoes for another run. ?As I said, the weather was overcast and gloomy, but I like it that way. ?It means that I won’t get too hot. ?It was actually a fun run. ?Lots of the community showed up to cheer us on, and despite little time for warming up, I kept a constant pace.

Now the only challenge is building up the stamina to do said run two times in a row!

Wish me luck!
