Tohoku is the northern area in Japan, where the great earth quake occurred in March 11th, 2011.

Kumotori-yama
The day when we started climbing was very bad, raining, windy and finally snowstorm came to us.
But next day (April 4th) became clear.

a Half Marathon
Yesterday, I have completed the half marathon in 2 hours and 11 minutes.
It was very windy and very hard to run against the strong wind.
Strong wind tried several times to have broken my spirit.
When I finished the run, I had pains in the lumbar region.
Possibly, I might need to take a rest for a while to run again.
But it is very good to break through a wall for stepping up to the another stage.
So, I am going to run again when my waist is all right.

PM2.5 is coming
PM2.5 is the fraction of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than2.5 μm.
This small size the PM2.5 fraction of particulate matter can penetrate deep into your lungs.
This may cause the lung cancer, lung related diseases.
China is spitting lots of PM2.5 and it's drifting deep into Japan.

Run Run Run
I run 21 km yesterday.
It was a training RUN.
Time was 2 hours 25 minutes.
Not so bad, I think.
Official RUN will be on the 2nd of March.
I need to run 21 km in 2h 30m.
Because they need to stop the public road for this marathon.
Finger the cross.

Nuclear Weapons
North Korea has carried out it's nuclear test today.
In addition to the previous missile test, North Korea did the third time test (2006,2009).
United Nation could not stop the test as well as China, U.S.A.
Nobody can not stop N Korea without war ?
N Korea has been imposed the layers of sanctions which do not seem to have any impact

The contract for a iPhone
Here is the contract exchanged between a mom and his son.
This is, in my opinion, very good, so I will put the link on my blog.
Regretfully, it might be too late for my daughters but I will introduce this to them, at least hoping that they will understand how their dad loves them.

2012 has started !
On the 1st of January, people go to a near shrine and pray for the healthy , peaceful life there.
The 2011 was not good year, so many people, I guess, go there and pray for the tsunami suffered area.
2012 is the year of the dragon. I hope this country will go up strongly, peacefully !
I pray for it.

10 km run
Tanzawako Marathon was held on the 27th of Nov.
I joined and run 10km around the lake Tanzawa.
Time was 71 min. and completed !
This Lake Tanzawa is the artificial lake that was created in 1978.
The old houses which used to be there on the bottom of the lake were abandoned.
Now the nature around the lake is preserved and you can enjoy the beautiful scenic view in spring, autumn especially.

Let’s go to the real bright future.
Tokyo seems to have returned to the normal life.
Trains have resumed the original time table and operations are in standard service now.
But most of companies are saving electric power.
The government has asked us to cut the power up to 25%, comparing to the previous year.
Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has the capability of supplying 36,000kW in the end of March, 2011 due to the devastating earthquake occurred in the 11th March。
Summer is the peak season of consuming electric power in Japan.
So, it is said that TEPCO needs to supply at least 55,000kW in the end of July.
As of the 20th April, TEPCO can supply 41,500kW, in the meantime 33,500kw will be expected to consume.
So far, so good now.
But hot summer is coming. You need to save the power more.
The governor of Tokyo Metropolitan City said that the power of many vending machines scattered in Tokyo should be cut. You can save the power comparable to one NUC power plant by doing so.
This is the quite radical opinion but I will go with him ;)
Now every train stations, shops in Tokyo are a little bit dark in order to save the power.
Even in business office they cut some of fluorescent lamps over your head.
So Japan is now a bit dark but even so brighter than the cities in EU and USA.
Japan was consuming a lot of power in the past. Now is the good chance to reconsider our life.
Physically Japan is now dark country but it could invent energy-saving systems more than before.
When it could succeed in inventing many good systems, Japan would be a logically brighter country than it used to be.
I hope Japan is going in the right direction.

Cherry blossom
Cherry blossom
Spring has come. All cherry trees are now blooming in Tokyo area.
But government announced that you should refrain from flower festival or flower-viewing parties under cherry trees, which many people will hope to do so.
The reason why they announced was to consider the thoughts of the evacuees from the great TSUNAMI.
The evacuees are under pressure how to survive the difficulties of poor life condition after the quake.
Many people, however, are thinking that this is bureaucratic thought.
Consumers should consume things you want. Otherwise, our economy will be shrinking rapidly.
Without healthy economy, you can not help the evacuees.
You can support the refugees with buying the products which will be manufactured by the survivors.
In order to rise again, you should not refrain from even flower festival or flower-viewing parties.

The radioactive substances are coming !
The radioactive substance,Iodine 131was found at Kanamachi Wastewater Treatment Works in Tokyo.

Governor has announced that the infants under one year old should NOT be given tap water as far as possible in specified area.
In announcement, he said he is preparing 240,000 bottled-water for the infants in return.
