Yep, it has started already and is killing people in China. Although we call them typhoons. And with the big typhoon near China, the weather here is alternately wet and hot and humid. Today was hot and humid's turn.
I got up early and did much the same workout as last week. Run to Komazawa and 10 by two-minutes hard with one-minute jog recovery. It went a little bit better than last week I think, although I was flagging by the end with the extra heat. Bloody watch re-set itself on the first rep, but at least I could use it for the rest. I think I averaged about 0.54 km for the 2-minutes reps compared to 0.52 or 0.53 last week.
So, 14 km all up, 54 for the week. Twenty-six tomorrow would give me another week of 80...just the thing for a 5-k training schedule!
Good luck all running the Sydney half tomorrow, and please all send good vibes to my friend Satohi, who is running Toya-ko in Hokkaido tomorrow trying to get under 3:30 to qualify for Tokyo Women's International. Go Satohi-san!!

About Me
- Stephen Lacey
- Born in 1963 under a camphor laurel tree beside Bilambil Creek, I now live in Tokyo with my Japanese wife and three sons. I started running in 2002 and my addictive personality soon clasped this foolish pastime to its bosom. I am also an enthusiastic amateur brewer and have won a few competitive home brewing awards in my time. Diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2015, today I can no longer run, and my blog posts are more likely to concern the waxing and waning of my condition.

Gee, it doesn't seem all that long ago that it was freezing over there.
There was a guy running in Warwick who had an Ekiden t-shirt on in on event. I memorised the name of it just to tell you ... but have since forgotten.
