If you have never heard of Ron Hill, you should read this.
Generally, I think Japan has some crazy ass stuff going on with running. While we all tend to yap about east Africa as having depth, and how anyone you can hit with a dead cat can run 2:10, Japan has had legitimately had races with hundreds of people go sub 70 in a half. That is REAL and measured depth. And then this: 11 boys, 7 Japanese and 4 Kenyan, from 10 schools come into this year's race with sub-14 bests over 5000 m led by senior Charles Ndungu of Hokkaido's Sapporo Yamanote H.S. in 13:35.54. Junior Takuya Hanyu, 1 of 2 sub-14 high schoolers from Chiba's Yachiyo Shoin H.S., is the fastest Japanese runner at 13:52.98, while 2014 World Junior Championships team member Shota Onizuka leads Fukuoka'sOmuta H.S. in 13:58.43 just ahead of a brand-new headline-making sub-14 addition, 16-year-old Hyuga Endo of Gakuho Ishikawa H.S. in 13:58.93.
Went and saw The Hobbit with the boy last night. He enjoyed it. It wasn’t bad but I think it fell into the trap of having to go to nutty with animated effects, and chasing too many story lines.
Did some yoga with TZ this AM. Each time it is a recollection of how flipping crazy tight I am in the hips and hams. Afternoon – 10.3, which included a mile jog with the dog (continuing her rehab) and the boy. He joined me on his bike afterwards and we headed down into the open space to see if the eagles were there. They were not at the nest. But it seemed like there were a few hundred if not a 1000 geese down there. 10.3 miles.
