Thank you to everyone who participated!

Tokyo Legacy Half Marathon 2022 10/16 When it was held last year, I saw the marathon up close for the first time and was ? thrilled to think that there were so many people preparing for this event.

❄? Tomakomai ?❄ Tomakomai City has a ⛸️ history of skating for about 100 years. In winter, there is not much snow and there are many swamps and lakes, so a natural skating rink has been created, and it has spread ❄️ as a form of play. Ice hockey and speed skating have ? ♀️ produced many Olympic athletes. The third photo shows the rink ice melting at "NEPIA Ice Arena (formerly: Shiratori Oji Ice Arena)"! It is a de-icing work that can only be seen once a year, and a very beautiful scene spreads out ?✨. Why don't you try skating in Tomakomai!

In Tokyo. Yesterday I did yoga ? ♀️ in Yoyogi Park! It's my first time there, but it's spacious and full ☺️ of nature.

Memories of summer... I played a lot of rounds this year.

Steak weight at Hitachi Takasuzu Golf Club It costs an extra fee, but it's delicious!

The "Special Traveling Radio Gymnastics and Gymnastics for Everyone" (started in 1978) is held at about 10 venues nationwide. This photo was taken at the Edo-Tokyo Tatemonoen-mae Square in Koganei City in the summer.

I am ready for the weekend lol. Not sure why, but I am just super tired this week. I wasn't able to workout during my lunch break today, so I'm going to have to do it tomorrow. Just needed to get a little rest in. I think it's probably due to the rain and it being darker outside lately. Was looking at some old photos and I found one of a manhole cover in Kumagaya that I never posted. Japan has so many cool designs on manholes, that there's actually quite a few people who go out of there way to take photos of them when they visit Japan. It's one of those unique things that you don't find in other countries and it's really neat. I like this one because it represents what Kumagaya is - a rugby town. I'd like to go back and visit again as it seemed like a really nice place. I don't know if I'd be able to play rugby at this point, but I'd definitely like to watch a game if I get the chance.

I managed to get a good workout in today as well. I can already feel my stomach muscles starting to get sore. I found a pretty decent coffee today. Decided to try something besides a black coffee today. Still a Boss coffee but it has a pretty low sugar content and doesn't taste too sweet or too bitter. Considering trying a new one tomorrow but this one was quite good so I might just be drinking this from now on. I want to keep my options open but it's hard to keep searching once you find something good. I found a photo that I forgot to upload before. I visited the Edo Tokyo Museum and outside there was a statue of Tokugawa Ieyasu riding a turtle lol... It's probably one of the more interesting statues I've seen in Japan but I suppose it symbolizes power and longevity, which Ieyasu certainly had both of.

I got another good workout done today. Just gotta keep at it. I was hoping to see Blue Impulse today but I didn't see them anywhere overhead and didn't manage to hear any jets in the air either. I saw a lot of photos being posted on social media though so that was pretty cool. I'm looking forward to checking out the Paralympics though, hopefully it gets good coverage on tv. I'm not really a coffee drinker but lately I've been trying different coffees from the local convenience store in an attempt to find one that I like. I tried the Boss coffee today since I always see commercials for it and it seems to be pretty popular, but it seemed a bit watery to me so I think I'm going to have to keep searching. If anyone has any coffee recommendations for me I'd love to hear them lol

And it's Friday! Was really feeling the soreness in my muscles today after working out yesterday, but it's a good feeling. Need to get a better workout for my lower stomach though, only feeling it in my mid-section really. I'd like to find a park where I can work out as well. A place with like some pull up bars where I can work on pull ups and general calisthenics besides just weight lifting at home. There are quite a few parks in Tokyo though so it shouldn't be too hard to find something. Just don't to get in the way of other people using the park. Was able to take a nice photo of a river running through Meguro today as well. Not sure which one but I think it'd look nice in the spring or fall, so maybe I'll have to go back in a few months and see if the leaves around it have changed color. Praying for good weather this weekend but we'll see. At the very least I'd like to do some laundry lol. Hope everyone has a good weekend, maybe I'll post something tomorrow as well but I generally stay off social media on the weekends. Until next time!

Was pretty nice weather outside today, felt good to be outside for a bit. Finally got to work out again, wasn't able to since I had to wait after getting my first shot of the vaccine. Trying to eat a bit healthier lately, avoiding sweets and stuff like that. The convenience stores in Japan are really amazing for having pretty tasty salads and even different varieties. Wouldn't be able to find that at most convenience stores in America. I've been trying to do some meal planning but I need some more recipes so I'm not just eating the same thing though. Not being able to go outside much this year was a little rougher on my body than I would have imagined. Managed to put on a couple pounds lol. Gotta get back in shape before winter, though, the heat helps with weight loss which is nice. The weather is supposed to be pretty decent this weekend too, so hopefully that doesn't change. Would like to go to the river and have a picnic or something like that. That's all for today I guess. Here's a photo of a station I took a few days ago. Thought it looked kind of neat with all the wires and everything. Would probably be better with a nicer camera though lol
