I ran the first leg last year (about 2.8km, a big hill up and a small decline at the end). I'll run it again on March 20th!<br /><br />I totally know what you mean about passing people. Last year, I decided to pace myself in the beginning but half way through I wasn't even winded and so I started passing people with a ferocity not often seen in Japan. Spectators I didn't even know (as well as most of the people I passed) congratulated me on my final sprint. I heard a lot of "足長いけえ," haha. <br /><br />How are the shoes working out? They still look STRANGE, haha. It's great that you are bonding outside of work (all though this is probably akin to a work party--as in "non-mandatory" but very essential for the team).Dan Moellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727478829502106355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413889730769298827.post-65262725064389393872011-03-02T13:40:59.752+09:002011-03-02T13:40:59.752+09:00you know she's the girl when you have purikura...you know she's the girl when you have purikura chemistry....!hozumihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06310346634284819489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413889730769298827.post-68467393939851600702011-02-27T17:54:09.113+09:002011-02-27T17:54:09.113+09:00my dad does that stuff!my dad does that stuff!hozumihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06310346634284819489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413889730769298827.post-63375494933777074932011-01-30T22:58:27.934+09:002011-01-30T22:58:27.934+09:00http://zeitgeistmovingforward.com/http://zeitgeistmovingforward.com/GB Sakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245491685089437150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413889730769298827.post-14782749038273207382011-01-29T11:57:07.221+09:002011-01-29T11:57:07.221+09:00awesome.

I don't want anybody to be a victim any more than myself, but adversity brings out our potential and "necessity is the mother of invention", no? Having everything means you have no needs, and then nothing new gets invented.

See...I think you've got a lot of good points. <br /><br />Seems to me like nothing really bonds people together better than a good old fashioned natural catastrophe. I wish it didn't take something drastic like that, but sometimes it does; to make people step outside of their day-to-day selfish selves and become something more to work together.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15183705940404015689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413889730769298827.post-85367080426033918152011-01-08T16:52:00.240+09:002011-01-08T16:52:00.240+09:00-stop laughing at my own jokes
