I ran the ekiden 20k run today, which is a relay race of 4 people running total 20k (ie 5k each). It was a fun time with all of us running a bit better than we did when we were practicing on our own. I got in at around 25 mins for 5km, which is better than I normally do, so I was happy. Nicole and the kids came too, which helped me to run faster and I felt I was really running quickly when I started. I was in a fit mood today, so it all went very well! Overall, our team of 4 was sort-of in the middle of the teams we had (we had 5 teams in total), so I’m pretty happy. My team consisted of Petter, Sanuki-san and Niclas. Good job team!
Nicole, Evan and Lauren came along and gave me such great support! Afterwards we went to Yoyogi park, where we’d never been before and had some very yummy ramen and gyouza!
