Running: Not just for athletes

On my new running channel on You Tube, I posted a video yesterday about how you don't have to be athletic to start running. In fact, most people are anything but athletic when they start. People tend to start running in order to get into shape.

In this video I share a little about how I went from being a 2 pack a day smoker to a runner.

Kobe Marathon 2011 神戸マラソン2011

Tonight I downloaded some thumbnail pictures that were taken of me while I ran the Kobe Marathon On November 20th, 2011. It was one of 3 major running events for me in 2011. Kobe Marathon meant a lot to me because it was the first time the race had been held and the course was made up of many areas where I normally train. Simply put, it was on my turf!

Enjoy the pictures!

Tonight I was also doing a lot of research to find out which races I will take on this year. I came across a 70km race in Osaka in May that looks very promising! We'll have to see. My Japanese isn't very strong and since the website is only in Japanese, I will have to get my wife to take a look at it.

Remember, the Running to Help Japan fundraiser page is LIVE and you can donate at any time. Every dollar helps!
