Actually made myself sit down with a video and do a 30-minute stretch routine. Recent nagging issues are still bugging me, but it is once again time to run out to Zen poet Ryōkan’s historic hermitage on Mt. Kugami in Niigata, so I’ve got to be ready! If you’re interested, here’s the vid from last…

Plum Blossoms in Niigata, Cherry Blossoms in Tokyo — Out for a Run in New Shoes
Did a slower-paced, relaxed run today with hills, and listened to Haruka Nakamura’s album “Twilight” along the way. I say slow and relaxed, but I’m still not back in the zone cardio-wise, so it was a bear. But a necessary one, and enjoyable all the same. The plum blossoms have popped out here in Niigata,…

Running Update: Magic Spring Playlist and the 4th Annual Sakura Cash Run
Well, first off, I wanted to share this playlist, because I went out into the sun today, sleep-deprived and exhausted, and it gave me the gas I needed to do three miles.

The mask…

Early Morning Run: Takasaki Kannon
After two days of basically not sleeping, I finally zonked out and dreamed. When I woke up around 3am, happily re-enlivened, I decided I had better not waste this chance to see the Kannon (Buddhist goddess of mercy and protection) that I always see from the bullet train when passing through Takasaki, heading from Niigata to Tokyo…
