Itoshima: Here we come...our yearly Kaki goya Run (2014)
December 23
is a national holiday in Japan.
That day is becoming our yearly
Kaki goya Run Event.
(kaki=oyster, goya=hut, the place where you eat "bbq-ed" oysters.)
As prep for the upcoming Xmas,
End of the Year
and New Year Parties.
And of course as a SLD training for the
Ibusuki Marathon in January.
Lucky us, as the weather was perfect that day.

And so, the New Year has started with Happy Runs.
For Good Reasons,
Japanese people try to visit 3 temples
as soon as the New Year has started.
We decided to do it On-the-Run.
It's just after 5 AM, January 1st.
Our first temple is Kusuda Jinja.
This is the temple so important for Yamakasa.
The Temple Runners.
It's not only Run and Pray.
Here we have a hot-bite in an umegai mochi.
The major temples (this is at Hakosaki) have loads of
food and drink stalls.
Yes, it's a big event this visit-3-temples-in-the-New-Year.
After our 3rd temple, it was a final 5 K stretch with horizontal snow....
brbrbr, but the hotspring is around the corner....
The next day....
Noriko and i decided to join Mr Sadaike for his amazing
8888th run!
It's mind boggling how to keep track of so many runs.
And telling you, he runs at least 10K a day...
..that makes a total of at least twice around the world!
Congratulations Sadaike san.
Salute.
