Foggy Run in Nanto

Early this morning, I went for a jog in Fukuno district of Nanto City - early in the morning. It was very foggy.

Beautiful flowers on a side of the road.

My First Trail Run

On Wednesday, I participated in my first trail run - this one was in Orange County, California.

The event was called Into the Wild OC Trail Run. This is the tent where we registered.

Within a mile, there was a steep and dusty uphill.

Here's a downhill through the bushes - rocky trails.

In the middle of the run, there was a flat part.

The area generally looked like this.
The raffle and award ceremony after the race was nice and friendly.

Although the heat was a bit overwhelming, I enjoyed my first trail run.

Run around San Jose Airport

Last Thursday, I had a trip to Silicon Valley, CA. I ran around the entire peripheral of San Jose International Airport.

Looking at the whole length of the runway from the southeastern tip of the airport.

The monument of Mission Santa Clara de Asis.

A sign of the first honey bees in California is right by the international terminal.
