Close from Home - Flowers, etc.

I had nice runs recently close from home. 

On Friday, I ran along Inokashira-dori and came back along Itsukaichi-kaido.  Saw many cute flowers on roadsides.

Four Day Weekend - Two Runs in Kitayama

For the 4-Day weekend, I stayed at Kitayama of Chino. 

On Saturday, I could run to the snow resort area (which is of course not yet open).

Most of the roads are very wavy.

A building was being demolished.

It was a misty morning.
