Morning Run

I managed to wake up in time to run to work. I took the shortest route and made it there in about 27 minutes so I ran around the parking lot to make it 30. This put me at 3.1 miles. It was a pretty easy run and the weather was perfect. (Well a little hot, but its Okinawa)

Evening Run

It was definitely hot after work and I still haven't been drinking enough water. I didn't want to run the shortest course home so I took a medium course by taking the back gate by the firehouse. I ran around the base and to the coast. I followed the seawall down to Ginowan Tropical beach and swam a little ways afterwards and stretched. I would like to make this a practice during the summer. It was 5.4 in about 51 minutes.

Evening Run

I rode a bike to work today and then ran back. I only extended the run back by a mile and finished off at the beach. I took a little dip to cool down and it felt great. Its been pretty hot and I need to drink more water. Old habits die hard. I ran 4 miles in about 40 minutes. (Forgot my watch)

Evening Run

I say I need to update more often because I haven't posted any of my runs in the last month, but I need to run more too. Today I came to practice. Hase and much of the team was in Hiroshima doing a training camp. It was only some of the kids, Will, and I. I decided to do a 10 miler in the grass early on since I hadn't been training much. Will decided to later too.

It was a nice run and it was nice to see the group. I will go to Iwakuni for the second half of the month so I hope to catch up with Hase and do some of the training camp on the weekend.

I hope to be in decent shape by then.

Evening Run

I relaxed most of the day finally deciding to go out an hour before sunset to jog at the beach. Usually by this time the beach is less crowded but today it was packed.

I wanted to do an 80 minute run but cut it off at 60. An hour of running in sand really tires you out, plus it was very hot. So I got an enjoyable 6.4 miles in during an hour run. I was able to check out a nice sunset in the process.

Evening Run

I met up with Will at the track during normal practice time to do an easy distance run. We said our hellos to the team and set out on our way. We ran by the beach to look at bikini girls and continued North on the seawall for about a half hour.

On the way back Will asked to pick up the pace but I declined. About a mile later he said he was going to pick it up without me so I decided to go with. We dropped our pace from 8:30 to 6:30 for the last 2 miles and then jogged a half mile barefoot in to grass. It was 7.0 miles in 62 minutes.
