Running Log: Week 1

I will be running two races this fall:

  • Shouhashi Half Marathon - Nov. 7
  • Naha Marathon - Dec. 5
For the next 18 weeks, I will be logging my weekly runs, partly for motivation, but also because it makes me feel cool to do so. Since the Naha Marathon will be my first marathon, and thus making me a full marathon noob, there will be nothing cool about my times, however.

Week of Aug. 2 - Aug. 8 (my week begins on Monday)

8/2: 4k, 25:52
8/4: 4k, 24:34
8/5: 4k, 25:02
8/7: 9k, 1:03:38

Total: 21k, 2:19:06
Average Pace: 06:37

3 Years

Today marks exactly three years since I first arrived in Tokyo for my JET orientation.

When I think about all that has taken place in my life since I came to Okinawa, I can feel the three years.

But then the other part of me is, like, 'Whoa! Three years already?!'

I guess that's what time does to people.
