Dead Man's Mile
Another day, another rip. I know my hands will adjust. That and I was told that I can wear gloves as long as they match my purse :). Both times on dead lifts, wtf? Photos courtesy of Forrest - thanks!

Yesterday's challenge to Me was the one thing I have had problems with since I could remember: sports. I'm just not a sports person. I actually spent most of my teenage years not knowing what to do with my body (jump? dance? climb? yoga? noooooo waaaaay)
It wasn't until I suffered from mild insanity and signed up to join the school's competitive climbing club that my body became one with ... whatever else I'm made of.
So. Yesterday's thing-I've-never-done-before was to run 5 km on the treadmill at my gym.
You know when you psych yourself up and tell yourself 5 is only a number and the only thing between you and 5 are wimpy numbers like 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Don't underestimate 2.
I became suicidal at 2.1km and hoisted my white flag at 2.5km.
Loser.
This is one thing I have to try again. Come on, it's 5km. Peanuts!

東京マラソンに備えてadizero Japan
久しぶりの皇居ラン。相変わらず神保町のランステは破綻ぎりぎりの込み具合。ロッカーが使えた例がないです＞＜
東京マラソンに備えてadizero Japanを新調。カラーは白ベースと黒ベースがあるんだけど、よりワイドなラストを使っている白をチョイスしました。結構スパルタンなカラーリングが結構お気に入りです。今年はビビッドなイエローが相当来てるね、まるでMavicみたいだ。
軽量化のためにクッション性と足首周りが弱いらしいんだけど、実際走ってみるとヒールカップがしっかりしてるつくりのため、不安定さは感じない。ソールのつくりはもろアスファルト向きで、路面をがっちり鷲掴んでくれるので、細かいピッチで速度が稼げる。一方、下りでは思ってる以上にブレーキがかかるので、走り方にちょっと工夫というか、パワーがいるっぽい。
やっぱり硬いので、それなりの脚力がないとあっさり脚が切れそうになる。この感覚は空力重視のカーボンディープ！（履いたことないけどね）
ってことで、今日は皇居2周。1週目は横浜のハーフマラソンを見据えてキロ4分でまわり、2周目はペース走。なんとも走りやすい気候。強度を上げる走り方をしても汗をあまりかかない。いいことだ。ぼちぼち20km以上のランを週のどこかで取り入れていかないとだめね。
Inspiration for The Sprint
for outdoor runs: I suggest the new Greenday album. (helps me get through it)
Maryland 5K Breast Cancer Run
I was so proud of my sister! It was her first charity run ever, and she ran the whole thing. I kept taking pictures of her while she ran, but she would want these memories of her doing this. Now to drag her to do the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler in March with me....
