Hanami Runs of This Week.

Sakura really blossomed the past week.  I could run in my neighborhood to enjoy beautiful flowers.

On Monday, I ran through Inokashira Park - at that time, flowers were not yet 50%. 


Large part of the park was blocked off so people would not be able to gather.


A pretty tree at Sukusuku-Izumi Park.

On Wednesday, I ran down Kanda River.

And Yesterday - Saturday - flowers were almost 100% blossomed.  My wife and I had a wonderful run to Musashino Chuo Park.

Inokashira Park had many people that came to admire the blossoms.  But of course not as many as usual.  Also nobody can really sit down and party this year.

A Run in Akiu Onsen

I traveled to Sendai and stayed over at a ryokan at Akiu Onsen over the weekend.  I could enjoy a nice run on Saturday morning.
