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.

Did a warm up run.

Ran 10 x 800 m fast (200 m jog/walk) in between.

My goal was to do these at about 2:50.

My times were:

2:41, 2:36. 2:40, 2:41, 2:44, 2:44, 2:47, 2:51 (+1), 2:56 (+6), 3:00 (+10)

I kind of fell apart at the end. Still having a hard time judging pace.

Did a cool down run to reach 10 miles.

Shoe money for today was (1 + 6 + 10) x 10 yen = 170 Yen (about $1.70)

PM: 5 mile walk

I love my afternoon walks. I have been getting some great photos of spring flowers.

The temperature this afternoon was 27C (about 80F) and the humidity was 60%. I was thinking....this is only May, in a couple of months the Olympics will hopefully be held in Tokyo. The temperature is going to be hot and the humidity is going to be high. Running will be like running in a hot steam room. I wonder what athletes are doing to prepare for that, or if there is anything anyone can do to prepare for conditions like that.

Was planning on doing some hill sprints today, but I was still quite sore from yesterday, so I decided to do an easy day. 10 easy miles. PM: 5 mile walk (Shoe money for the week: 170 yen ($1.70)) (Total shoe money: 800 yen ($8.00)) *Thoughts on this week: I have tried to put more emphasis on total recovery between hard days, and this week I have seen that it has made a difference. When running 5000m for time yesterday, I noticed that before my legs, lungs or anywhere else became tired, I started getting a burning in the stomach, which to me indicates that my core is weak. I think I need to start more training to strengthen my core.
