ready, set, 運動して!

On May 16, 2010, I will be running in a 15-k (about 9 miles) with some Kobe JETs up in Shiga Prefecture, near Lake Biwa.
I found a pretty nice 10 week training program online that I'm gonna use to help me prepare, since I've never run that far at one time, ever.

I got a membership to a gym near where I live so I can do cross and strength training, and also for a place to work out when the weather is crappy and I don't feel like running outside (ex. yesterday). It seems like a nice place. It reminds me of high school to be back in there with all the weights and machines and whatnot. Only James was making fun of me because I was doing the runners' workout (light weights/high reps) and he was doing his "I'm a guy so I need to look like a bad-ass when I'm at the gym" workout (even though that's the opposite of what is good for running, but it's whatevs), but it's okay because I'm gonna kick some butt come May.

Yay for the sprinter going the distance.
