ok i am also late to the party. i fell off my training with the move to japan so i have been out of things for a while. i have no real excuse. just got lazy and out of shape.

but i did finally start training again. i have been doing 5 k races every couple of weeks and have been steadily getting my time back. i found a triathlon group here and i will be joining them this week.

so far aside from the 5k's which are really just for fun i have signed up for a 27 k run in november at lake kawaguchi and i am going to do tokyo marathon in march. i am hoping to get back into good enough shape to do ironman japan in june but that plan is extremely tentative. i am already training for it but it will depend on where i am in my training in a couple of months. if i am not amking the progress i need to or if it is taking too long to get my run back for these other races then IM will wait til 2011. its a shame i let myself get out of shape. there are a lot of really good tri's here. they also do things like 10k open water swims from island to island. i would like to give that a try before i move back to the US.
