Black Soy beans covered in white chocolate mixed with roasted soy bean powder.

Participants in the 2010 Shikaoi Trail Run were allowed to choose from these chocolates or a free hot spring bath as a finisher's prize. I got the chocolates! They were yummy.  They didn't last long.  They are roasted soy beans covered with white chocolate that has soy bean powder (kinako) mixed in. They are from a local confectionary called Ryugetsu.  If you want to find them they are called Kinachoko Kurodaizu. (きなチョコ黒大豆).

New personal best!

At the Sahoro Riverside Ekiden in Shintoku on Monday I ran my fastest 5k ever! During my leg of the event I ran 5.1km in 20:28 which was the second fastest time on my team behind our anchor by 3 seconds! I am very happy with my performance. That is all I can write now. I just had to get that up!
サホロリバーサイド駅伝で５kmのPBが出来ました。ところで、PBはPeanut Butterではなくて、Private Bestでもなく、Personal Bestの略だと思います。１０月１１日体育の日に行われた新得町での駅伝でした。自分のチーム「帯広楽走会　A」は１３チーム中の８位でした。５kmはどれぐらい早く走れるかはまだわからないけど、もうちょっと出せると思います。練習次第ですね。ichanさんから写真を頂いきました。

Still Getting Sick After Your Run?

This is an update to my ongoing battle with running induced nausea.  I got sick again! And again!

Yes, I STILL haven't solved my nausea problems.  *sigh* What could it be? Is it just that I'm not drinking enough?  That's what everybody tells me. BUT my stomach seems to stop working during the race.  Everything that I drank during the race came back up after the race.
