Sumpu Marathon...




Back in March I signed up for the Sumpu Marathon with a friend. Neither of us was looking for the exercise, since we're both active on the daily, but I thought it'd be an interesting experience and opportunity to take pictures. I didn't have the time or inclination to do any training so I opted for the 10k version of the run, something I figured I could do without much trouble.

But as things sometimes turn out, that friend and I had some communication issues and she opted not to participate, so I went ahead and ran with the friends I play basketball with on Sundays. It's really too bad because it turned out to be a perfect day for a run. And I could have used a steady model for the pictures. And she has an exceedingly cute face.

I got a lot of inquisitive stares for taking pictures while running, but I guess by now I'm use to getting strange stares. "Will you look at that?! That gaijin is eating baby carrots--RAW!"




I'll cut the narrative and let the pictures show you what it's like to run a 10k in Japan.

Not a bad way to spend a Sunday morning.
