Nike+ Number One Hundred

Pretty sad showing for number 100, but today was the first time I've run without a brace in a week so took it easy.

Nike+ Number Ninety-Nine

Wow hard to believe I've done 99 runs already!

Getting there

Nike+ Number Ninety-Seven

Another easy one

Nike+ Number Ninety-Six

Just a short run to test my ankle. Incidentally this run put my overall total to 666.03 >=) ... how devilish

Nike+ Number Ninety-Five

Just a slow easy run with my buddy Bill.

BILL!

Bill one of the Aussies who left from last year has returned! The Himeji BOE was only able to find 6 of 8 new Aussies and Bill (no doubt through sheer stuborness) was able to secure one of the vacant spots. Aussies have contracts only for one year and don't have the option to renew through the sister cities program. However, Bill has made this a special case. On a side note it will be good to have another running partner again. Yoko can only run once a week and so with Bill in the mix again it won't be so solitary out on the roads all the time.

P.S. I also got a hair cut today.

This was by far the most difficult run for me to complete in quite some time.

Snowboarding

So I went snowboarding yesterday for the first time in a long while. Basically I had to start from square one again. The first hour or so I spent trying to stand up. Once I was able to stand up my muscle memory took over and I was able to board with relative ease. That isn't to say that I didn't fall down a lot. I did and I am sore today because of it. However, by the end of the day (which was short unfortunately only 4 hours on the slope)I was able to tackle the mountain and made it down in one piece. FROSTY LIVES! (this is a reference to a comedian who talks about wearing white snow gear) Here are a few pictures.
