Personal:

Attended Japanese high school and finished in March 2020. Was very lucky to be able to be a member of a very good team of runners at my high school, even though I was injured most of the time and was not able to be much of a contributor. Am currently doing an Engineering internship at a large manufacturer of Automotive transmissions, etc. It is really exciting. In spring of 2021, if COVID-19 has subsided, I am planning to serve an LDS mission, after which I plan to go to college and study Engineering.

Total Distance
2.00

I tried running today after taking a few weeks off because of my left achilles tendon.

The first 50 meters I could feel the tendon, and I depated about calling it quits, but instead I decided to change my running form.  Instead of pushing off with the calf muscles, I ran by lifting my knees and driving forward with my knees.  This caused me to have to take short faster strides, but it felt good and there was no pain in my tendon after that.

It is amazing how fast you can get out of shape.  I was really breathing hard after 2 miles.   I will try this distance this week and gradually work up from there.

I may try doing some jump roping this week as well.  Oddly enough, jumping rope doesn't seem to bother my achilles.
