First Sapporo run -- Tuesday, June 27

[This is the first of a bunch of backposts, covering the time spent in Japan so far--nearly four weeks already, and about 10 days to go]

Very early morning (though by 5:30 the sun's already well up), out to the Shinkawa road and follow the river (part on walking trail) for almost two miles, then cross and back along the other side.

Time: 30:50
Speed: 7.74 mph
Distances: 3.98 miles

Comment: felt great to be back, and the long grasses and weeds on the trail next to the river made a great morning sunshade, a sort of green alley to run along. Definitely no stamina or strength right now -- still trying to find enough sleep to get over the trip, but there just aren't enough hours in the day.
