And this area is famous for these flowers,so there were many people.It's for the first time for me to come there and I was surprised with so many people.

I watched Hasetsune race

I had great fun on last weekend.

I supported runners who joined Hasetsune at Iriyama peek which it's 7km from start with 3UP members.They were cheerful as they started to run.We enjoyed each other.

Midnight I went to start-point(finish point) again.
When I arrived there, Watanabe-san have just finished.He is 7th prize.Wonderful.
I'm surprised with winner ran under 8hours.winner's record is 7'39!!
Next Kabuyagi-san and Yokoyama-san finished together.Their records are 7'44.
I'm impressed to hear it.And I'm glad to know Yokoyama-san make a
strong comeback.

Anyway I was waiting Kazuya.Kazuya's aim was under 9'30.After all he finished with 9'36 records.Last year his record was 10'04 and 50th prize.This year his record is
9'36,but he is 41st prize!
A number of runners who run under 9hours is 26! Runner's levels
improve dramatically.

Hitomi improved dramatically,too.Her record is 10'33.
But she is 7th.Women's levels improve dramatically.

By the way,3UP runners all have finished.
We watched Tanaka-san,Matsuoka-san,

Komatsu,Suda-san finished.After
that we went home.
After all,kato-chan finished 17'56,Sugiyama-san finished 19'43.
I'm very impressed.

trail run race in Sugadaira

I entered the trail run race was held in Sugadaira in Nagano Pre. on last Sun.
The distance was 40km! I'd never ran so long distance before .Of course in the mountain.
My longest distance was 25km.I wanted to try longer distance.
When I registered the race,I heard the distance was 35km,but just before the race the distance changed to 40km.I was surprised at first.But I think it's no difference between 35km and 40km.It was challenging for me.I was exciting.
I moved to Sugadaira on the day before the race.It was so cold that I was surprised and worried about the race.
But on the race day I hadn't felt cold since I started.Scenery in the race was wonderful,I ran admiring the scenery.My condition wasn't so good ,--I'm not sure the reason ,but attitude was high.I think not to get used to the attitude.
There were 2 peeks at the first half.I climbed hard.
From left half,my challenge started.I was thinking how my body changed by tired.
While I climbed,I felt my legs so heavier.I climbed slowly and another runners overtook me.But I ran faster than others at downhill.I used only gravity ,not used my muscles.As others admired me and I was glad.Overtook,be overtaken,the situation continued like this.
I wanted to run under 7hours but I couldn't do it.
But I almost cry when I finished.I got it,I did best.I was so happy although I was exhaused.I could run 40km!

I won the race

I went to Ohtaki village in Nagano to enter the race MTB and Run.
MTB race was held on last Sunday and Run race was held on last Monday.
The result is decided by time of both races combined.When I finished MTB,I was in third place and the difference between second and I was about 4min.Next day was Run.I didn't feel tired.But I was overtaken by her just since we started. After climbing I ran down quickly and at last I caught up to her and overtook!I pushed hard so I wouldn't be caught again.
I hurried up.And Goal.But I couldn't feel relief till she finished.After all She finished within 4 mins of me.We were not sure which win.
But I was completely satisfied with my result.I had great fun.
Finally I knew the result at the awarding ceremony.I won.
I'm over the moon!

Coffee

I like coffee.I drink some cups of coffee every day.At first,I drink a coffee at breakfast.Coffee at breakfast helps me to wake up and stay awake.Next,I buy a coffee before getting on a train and work with drinking it.
A few years ago,I used to drink much more coffee than I drink now,in addition to I drink even before going to bed.But now it's difficult for me to sleep if I drink it at night.so I don't drink it before going to bed.
I sometimes enjoy coffee from grinding beans.If I have no time,I use grounded beans not instant.I buy them at Starbucks.Of course they're more expensive than them in supermarket.I sometimes want to reward myself for working.And I love breakfast so I'm lavish in spending money for breakfast.

Sad news

I heard sad news and was surprised.
My classmate in high school lost her family by a car accident.I have no contact with her since we gradulated,so I didn't know that she had gotten married and had a family.
I can't do anything for her here.I ask my friend to go there in my place.
