Okumusashi cross-country

My doctor said to me that I may run with checking my condition.
But I'm afraid that he didn't permit me to enter the race.
As I'm complaining about myself who cancel some races,
I decided to enter Okumusashi cross-country race and not to run but to walk.

It was so cold fine weather in early morning on this Sunday.

It took an hour and half from my home to Shomaru Sta. which is the registration.

A number of runner who enter the race was 200 people.
It was small and had homelike atmosphere.
Just as I started,there was a steep path.
I had to climb the steep path.People around me had already walked,so I added them.
After walking for a while,I went along a ridge,and sometimes saw a great sigthview like under picture.

If I had enough time to find,I might see Mt.Fuji.

Then I decided torun at downhills,because the race had a limit.
I used muscle of my thighs not to injure my heel again.
Downhills were so steep,but I felt so good when I could run down quicker.
For running the downhills quicker, I had to find the route instantly.
There were fallen lieves on the path,so the path was beautiful but it was easy to slip.
Running downhills is challenging as contrasted to need strong muscle and stamina for running uphills.

Volanteers were so kind.I ate fruits and sweets at Aid.


The distance of the race is 17km.It had many up-down hills from start to 10km point.
Finally I finished after I ran down the road left.

While running, I walked ,ate something and took pictures.So the record was bad for me,of course.
Honestly I frustrated that I couldn't run completely,but I hope to run completely next year.
