After all, I remember having participated in a 1500m run for the first time in a quarter century. The result is a little over 5 minutes. It was more than a minute later than my PB. It was a fun 1500m.
In February, after the training program of the former Olympian Marayamauchi, I am happy to have increased my communication with new friends as well as running. Let's enjoy running next year. Please have a good year.
18th marathon. 5th of 6 world marahon majors. Tokyo, Chicago, Boston, New York, Berlin. 6th of 6 coming in 6 month in London.
ベルリンは日本から直行便が無い。そのため往路ヘルシンキ、復路ロンドン経由となった。 ヘルシンキ空港は近年リニュアルオープン、シンプルできれいな感じ。自動入国審査は最新の生体認証システム。皆さん使い方に慣れていないので実際的には意外と待ち時間がかかる。現場はもう少し上手く案内した方がスムーズなオペレーションになるかもしれない。Berlin has no direct flights from Japan. For that reason, it was routed to Helsinki and back through London. Helsinki Airport has been renewal opened in recent years and still construction is going on in some areas. Automatic immigration is the latest biometric authentication system. Since everyone is not used to using it, it actually takes a surprisingly long time. It may be smoother to guide the site a little better.
さて、自分は9月に47歳になった。ロンドン大学の教授によれば、いまどきは８０年どころか１００年人生らしい。人生いつ終わるかわからないのが現実だ。長さよりも、大事な自らの健康寿命をいかに生きるかが大切。今回ベルリンを楽しく走ることに集中したい。Now, I became 47 years old in September. According to a professor at the University of London, nowadays it seems to be 100 years rather than 80 years. The reality is that you don't know when your life will end. Rather than length, it is more important how you live your own healthy life expectancy. Anyway, I want to concentrate on running happily in Berlin this time.
The condition before the start of the morning of September 29th on the day of the marathon is 14 degrees Celsius and cloudy ☁️
I feel chilly compared to 27 degrees in Tokyo. It can be easily imagined that it will be quite cold if the rain and wind blows. Japan does not have 52 degrees north latitude. If you imagine, it is close to the image of a climate similar to Hokkaido.
今回18回目のマラソンはこれまでで一番準備が整っていない状態でスタートラインに立つことになった。このベルリンマラソンは、昨年11月NYCMと3月板橋マラソン以来およそ半年ぶりのフルマラソン。The 18th marathon will be on the starting line with the least preparation so far. This Berlin Marathon is the first full marathon in half a year since the NYCM last November and Itabashi Marathon in March.
その間、亡き母のためにしっかりと走ることを目標に準備を進めてきた。９月２５日は母の命日。早いもので２年の月日が経とうとしている。その間のことは多くは語らないが様々な葛藤、人生の振り返りと今後について考え、環境を変える時間と労力が必要だった。様々な形で様々な方と仕事やスポーツを通じて充実した日々への感謝の気持ち。家族、職場の仲間、そしてラン仲間、地元の友人。。Meanwhile, I have been preparing for the goal of running firmly for my mother in heaven. September 25 is my mother's memorial day. Two years are about to pass. I didn't talk much about that, but I needed time and effort to change the environment, thinking about various conflicts, reflections of life and the future. Thanks for the fulfilling days through work and sports with various people in various forms. Family, work colleagues, sports friends, and local friends. .
If we talk only about the marathon, NewYorkCityMarathon was the peak in November last year. It seemed to me that my thoughts about the United States, where I had many fun memories and opportunities for growth through my studies and especially sports, were strong. The joy of experiencing the joy of sports culture experienced at the age of 15 to 17 years after 30 years has been left as the most intense impression. It seems to me that yesterday that the Berlin Wall that separated East and West Germany collapsed in the fall of 1989 at that time. I remember a foreign student of the same age from Frankfurt, West Germany. I didn't dream of visiting Germany for a marathon, but it might be something to do in Berlin.
さて、今回ベルリンマラソンまでのトレーニングを簡単にまとめておく。4月、5月怪我。6月軽くリカバリーJog。7月風邪でダウン。8月から６週間しか練習が出来ていない。この状況から過去１７回マラソン完走経験値から、良くて３時間５分。悪くても３時間２０分程度。１５分程度の幅で楽しく走ること。これがベルリンマラソンゴール。Now, I will briefly summarize the training up to the Berlin Marathon. April and May injuries. June lightly recovery Jog. Down with a cold in July. I have been practicing for only 6 weeks from August. From this situation, the past 17th marathon completion experience value is 3 hours 5 minutes at best. 3 hours 20 minutes at the worst. Running happily with a width of about 15 minutes. This is the Berlin Marathon goal.
[スタート Start9:15am] 盛り上がりはシカゴに似ている。ベルリンはシカゴほどの高層ビルはないが、とにかく平坦。そのフラットなコースはシカゴよりもコーナーが多い。シカゴは反時計回り、ベルリンは時計回りのコースだ。The excitement is similar to Chicago. Berlin isn't as tall as Chicago, but it's flat. The flat course has more corners than Chicago. Chicago is a counterclockwise course and Berlin is a clockwise course.
[Start - 15km] 沿道の応援は、バンドがいたるところで応援している。コースはベルリンの見どころが満載。まるで飲み物とおつまみ付きの４２キロの市内観光だ。ただ自走しなければなりません。The support of roadside is supported everywhere by the band. The course is packed with highlights of Berlin. It's like a 42km city tour with drinks and snacks. You just have to run.
A nice shower run. No, it ’s pretty cold! It looks like a hot drink like Japanese barley tea and is a little sweet. This is also good. Because my body temperature has dropped too much, I stop at each aid and sip tea. delicious! Thank you! Danke Schoen! Bitte Shane! (^^ ♪
特にレース終盤は、わたしはすべてのエイドステーションで、立ち止まって談笑して、パワーをもらいました！ベルリン最高〜♪Especially at the end of the race, I stopped and chatted and gained power at all aid stations! Berlin is the best ~ ♪
[End 30km ~ Finish] Slowing down my pace from 30 km. The hamstring, then the base of the right leg, and the gluteus medius are convulsed many times and become unable to move. I have experienced rainy marathons many times, but I have never experienced so much exhaustion in the cold before the goal. The feeling of this body is the feeling of fatigue that has moved from Far East Asia for 20 hours! How many other than me have walked the Brandenburg Gate? Anyway, I walked firmly! !
(゚ Д ﾟ щ) Camo! Tokyo! Satoshi! Thanks for spectators cheered me and pushed me to the goal. I feel I was mostcalm. I was overwhelmed by the energy level of the spectators. Such an experience is very unusual. Again, I was impressed. Thank you very much.
[After finishing] After completing the race, the medals were stamped with the name and completion time because of the cold, and they returned to the hotel immediately. Before that, we will return the measuring chip, but all are self-service! This is also a reasonable lol
My legs convulsed again and again, and it took me 15 minutes to unwind, and I finally unwound my shoelaces and returned the measuring tip. Wow. It's an excursion until I go home
正直ホッとしたのと、母も天国から、あんまり無理しなさんなーと微笑んでくれているかな、と思いながら、宿泊先に向けて歩きながら、寒さの中でも心温まるように歩を進めました。Honestly, I was relieved that my mother was smiling from heaven, but I was walking toward the accommodations, and I walked forward to keep my heart warm in the cold.
元同僚とCatching up Really nice to catch up with Greta about Berlin and Japan.
So nice to catch up with Greta! Cheers with Ampelmann capuchino
一日中ベルリンの街を歩き倒し夕方バウハウスの本を見つけた。いいお値段ですが、うれしいことに特価でセール中、半額で手にすることが出来た。建築に興味のある息子のお土産として持って帰ることになりました。I walked down the streets of Berlin all day and found Bauhaus books in the evening. It was a good price, but fortunately I was able to get it at half price during the sale at a special price. I took it home as a souvenir for my son interested in architecture.
何と言っても今回嬉しかったのはフンボルト大学近くの書店でバウハウスの本が特価で購入できたことWhat I was happy about this time was that I could purchase Bauhaus books at a special price at a bookstore near Humboldt University
[国際コーヒーの日]
coffee day October 1st!
[フライト] British Airways の機内案内放送は面白くて筋肉痛を我慢しながら見入ってしまった。動画も撮ったので、今度共有できたらいいな。The British Airways in-flight broadcast was interesting and I watched it with patience. I also took a video, so I hope I can share it next time.
ではまた今度！気が向いた時に書きます！チュッス！（ドイツ語またね！）
See you next time! Write when I feel like it! Chus! (See you again in German!)
今回台風の影響で家族で避難所に土曜日夕方４時から翌朝６時まで避難した体験をもとにわたし個人として気がついた点を記載する。もちろん避難した時間前後も心身に大きな影響を与えていることも事実である。/ Here are some of the things I noticed as an individual based on my experience of being evacuated to a refuge from Saturday 4pm to 6am the following day due to the typhoon. Of course, it is also true that there is a great influence on the mind and body before and after the evacuation.
I've decided to report out on typhoon 19th Hagibis than my world 6 marathon majors review while my memories from actual experiences evacuating from the flood nearby my place in Tokyo.
今回のわたしの避難体験からの教訓 key lessons learned from my evacuation experience
[実践編 / Practice]
家族の命にかわるものはありません there's no substitute than your family life.
1) Baseline
可能な限り早く避難すること evacute as soon as possible.
2) Logistics, food supply
3日~1週間程度自力で生活可能な食料品を備蓄をすること / Stockpile food items for self-living for about 3 days to 1 week
3) Mindset, communication
不安を抱えている家族に希望を感じられるような会話、語りかけを少しずつ続けること。ポジティブなマインドはポジティブな影響を与える / Continuous communication with family supports relaxing and give eases stress and shares anxiety. positibity gives positive effects to the others.
4) Natural science
小学校や中学校で学ぶ基礎的な自然科学と今回の実体験を関連づける / Linking the basic natural sciences learned at elementary and junior high schools with the actual experience
5) Happiness
物質的所有に伴う幸福感は忘れる / Forget about the happiness that comes with material possession
It was confirmed that this is a common item with the experience of climbing Fuji in July (I spent a night in a soaked 8.5th station that was swaying in the storm due to extremely severe weather conditions).
以下はもう少し大きな視点からの振り返り / The following is a look back from a larger perspective
[主な気づき / key findings]
- この１００年の急激な経済開発がもたらした自然変化の１つ / One of the natural changes brought about by the rapid economic development in the last 100 years
- 地球温暖化に伴う水温上昇による台風の勢力増強 / Strengthening the power of typhoons by rising water temperature due to global warming
- 急激な経済成長に伴う東京集中型都市計画の限界 / Limitation of Tokyo centralized urban planning due to rapid economic growth
東日本での被災には大変ショックを受けると同時に心を痛めており、継続した支援活動が必要であることは言うまでもない。微力ながら出来ることを実践して貢献していきたい。It goes without saying that the disasters in East Japan are very shocking and at the same time hurting and need continuous support activities. I want to contribute by practicing what I can do with my best.
あと最後に妻が作ってくれた暖かいおでんが最高に美味しかった、これを忘れてはならない。Last but not least, the warm oden made by my wife was the most delicious.
Newspapers saying the end of Heisei era and start of Reiwa 1st of May 2019.
My first marathon was 2007 1st Tokyo Marathon it was 2-3 degrees with heavy rain in Feburary, 2007. It was Tokyo marathon before becoming world majors as of today.
Most of my PB was in Tokyo marathon such as in 2007, 2014. It took me 8 marathons to achieve sub 3 in Kobe marathon 2015 and Beppu Oita marathon 2016. Actually Beppu Oita was my attempt to sub 2:50 which was fine until passing 30km in 2:00 with 4 mins pace per km. I was feeling ok with relaxing mentaly and physically. However cramp stopped my race. Let's stop cramp, not the race. ;)
Now I've completed 17 marathons so far. My goal is 6 marjors with doing my best performance in every marathons. Honestly speaking I am quite sutisfied with completing Tokyo and 3 marathons in the U.S. with Chicago2016, Boston2017, NewYork2018. There is no easy marathon. It's not only about running 42.195Km distance. It's about the whole project journey from start to the end of every marathon.
With this, four of six completed. Berlin and London to complete 6 majors.
Again it is not only about running and it is about finding more insights through running in different place in the world. That is the beauty of enjoy running globally.
