Back in Japan...

... but unfortunately one day too late. So I missed the famous Namban Bonenkai Year End party. Darn! Now its 4:30 am in the morning and the Jet lag is nagging me.

Best will be heading out and doing a short early morning jog.

The year is about to end, Xmas and New Year are just around the corner.

Time to think about next year and the races ahead.

Well, I am in Tokyo, YEAH! Let's see how it goes there.

And, frankly speaking, I really want to run another Ultra. Kiyo suggested several races to me and out of those, the Fuji 5 lake 112k run seems to be the best pick. It's not too warm in April and it's a 100k+ Ultra. There is a 140k run in Yamaguchi in May, but temperatures have been in the high 25C last year. I am not so keen about the heat there. And, in 2009 I have to run Berlin Marathon again. Let's see how all these plans turn out ;-)
