Saturday
Didn't really have time to run so decided to rest for tomorrow.

Sunday
10:00 - Total 22k (approx) at the Namban Rengo Half and 10K.
Ran the 10K in 40:27. Wanted to run half marathon pace (for race next Sunday) at 40 or faster, but 40:27 was ok. It was rather hot, actually. The course alongside the Arakawa river was completely in the sun.
Then ran 2k or so out and back twice pacing people in the half, including one woman who I ran with for 2.5k who ran a 1:32, so that was about 4:20/k pace. Ran more than I intended to, but had no soreness at all.
We had over 90 people out for our run and BBQ, of whom about 70 ran. A great day.
Weather: 24C/75F, sunny, a very warm day for Nov. 13.
