Year-End 15 K Jog with Friends

Jan. 29, 2021

Today is the day for an annual event of mine: the year-end run with friends. Three runner friends of mine joined me for a fun run in Central Tokyo. 

Leaving Raffine Running Style Kanda at 10:00 a.m. our first destination was a taikyaki shop below. A taiyaki is a pancake typically stuffed with sweet red bean paste. Each of us had our favorite kind to fully charge our body's batteries.


Our next transit was the Kaminarimon Gate in Asakusa. It was filled with a lively atmosphere of year-end. We got a photo taken below with the famous gate in the background. 


After having lunch at Burger King in Asakusa, we ran through Ueno to come back to Kanda before 2:00 p.m., way before originally scheduled. 


After a quick shower, three of us hit a local Chinese restraunt and enjoyed having a light meal and some beer. 

It was a very refreshing run. I feel so good that I was able to cover 15 K without feeling any pain in my recovering left knee. I hope to go for a recovery walk tomorrow.
