The first run of the new year

2days staying at my parents'. Watched Hakone Ekiden live on TV this morning.
Back to my flat in late afternoon, the first run of the new year, 10km;1:05:38.
During running, remembered the comment of a runner of Toyo univ. "Just to overcome myself last year", true to his words, he broke his own record of 09' Hakone Ekiden 5th leg, the hardest section of the course.
The great deal of watching the live was, to realize people run so fast, so smoothly and so strongly, with maintaining their inner strength to the last moment of the run.
Nothing compared to the Ekiden runners, my record was also improved a bit today-by 1min. 28 sec.. Good start of 2010.
