Used to be called a cyberpunk without adult supervision. I'm old now, but still enjoy free-spirited life, and love to discover and try new things. Currently, I'm just a junkie for overseas news and gossip. A cat lover, who also digs running and cycling.
Went out to the footpath along a neighborhood creek just after the sunset. Temperature was around 16C, a very warm day for this time of year. Ran 10 km super easy. Felt good and refreshed. It's been 3 months since my last blood donation. I made an appointment at Red Cross tomorrow. #running

Another beautiful day. I visited my mother at her nursing home in late afternoon. Delivered fresh fruits and snacks. She was good and had a cup of milk pudding while I met her. Ran 14.7 km super easy. As I did a parkrun yesterday, my quads were a little sore. The photos were from yesterday. #running

I got up early and participated in the Parkrun at Tsujido Kaihin Park. It's been over 8 months since the last Parkrun. I ran the 5K in 26:42 or 5:19/km. It was faster than my usual easy pace, but I felt comfortable. I rode 24 km to the park and back on my hybrid bike. #parkrun #running

A warmer, mild day for this time of year. Went out to the footpath along a neighborhood creek and ran 11 km +. Reached my monthly running goal of 150 km with 2 days to spare. Felt really great. I could have run couple of miles longer easily. #running

The weather was really nice today. I finished work a little early and went out for a run on the bike path along the river in late afternoon. Ran 10 miles (16.5km) super easy. Only done Zwift in the last 2 days. My legs were fully rested. Felt great and strong throughout. #running #bikepath

A transportation run to the mother's nursing home and back. Delivered fresh fruits and snacks. She was good. As I took care of house chores till the mid-afternoon, I left home later than my usual visits. Took my regular routes along 2 rivers and the bike path. Ran 14.6 km super easy. #running

Went out to the pedestrian walk along a neighborhood creek just before the sunset time. Ran 11.3 km super easy. It was a bit warmer and a great day for running. Felt good and strong. Thinking about participating in a local Parkrun tomorrow if I'm able to sleep before the midnight. #running

Felt really good since I woke up. I could not help thinking about going out for a run. Finished my work a bit earlier and went out to the bike path along Sakaigawa River before the sunset. Ran 13 km easy. My legs were fresh and breathing felt easy. I could have gone longer. #running

Ran to the mother's nursing home and back, Delivered fresh fruits and snacks. She was doing fine, but her dementia made it difficult for her to recognize the season. She kept asking me how hot the outside was. Ran 14.5 km total, mostly on the bike path. The weather was nice and pleasant. #running

Went out to the footpath along a neighborhood creek just after the sunset. Ran 10 km super easy. Returned home and ordered Chinese takeout. Without changing the clothes, I ran to the restaurant 2 hill away. Brought back 2 Bento boxes and Chinese dumplings. Had good pre-meal workout. #running #MtFuji

The climate was almost perfect for outdoor running. Went out to the footpath along a neigborhood creek. Ran 10 km easy in the dark. Could have gone longer and faster, but my priority is not to get injured. I'm old and run every other day. I do indoor-riding (#Zwift) to complement #running though.

Another national holiday. Went out to the footpath along a local creek after the sunset. Ran 10 km super easy. My legs were totally rested and fresh. I felt great throughout. Listened to an episode of The Guardian Today in Focus podcast about the story on J&J baby power/cancer links. #running

We lost our house cat 5 years ago. He was with us over 21 years. My partner and I went out to a neighborhood Chinese place and had memorial dinner. I ate and drank too much and needed to burn off the excess calories. After returning home, I joined #Zwift RO4H social ride and span easy for an hour.

The end of the month adjustments time! Although it was raining and dark, I went out to the footpath along a local creek. Needed 6 km to reach my monthly running distance goal of 150 km. Ran 6.4 km super easy. I wore the reflective yellow raincoat and bottom like a traffic control worker. #running

The wet weather has kept me from running outdoor for 4 days. It's dark and raining, but I could't help going out for a run. Went out to the footpath along a neighborhood creek and ran 10 km super easy. Although I had a headlamp, I had to watch my step carefully on the wet slippy surface. #running

It's chilly and raining. My partner wanted to have Nabe for dinnner. She asked me to get the vegitable and muchrooms at the local supermaret. I used that request as an excuse to go out for a short run. Ran 5.6 km in cold, wet, and dark. The Nabe got me warmed up. Finished it off with Ramen needle.

The 1st run since getting the double jabs(COVID+flu) on Saturday. Went out to the footpath along a neighborhood creek in early evening. Ran 5 miles in the dark. Went super super slow throughout. The right upper arm is still a little itchy, but I felt O.K. Love the nice cool weather! #running

I have an appointment for COVID and Flu shots at a neighborhood clinic tomorrow morning. So, I may not be able to visit my mother during the weekend due to the adverse effects. I ran to the mother's nursing home in late afternoon and delivered fresh fruits and snacks. Ran 14.5km total. #running

Rained on and off since late afternoon. Stayed home and settled for a late night #Zwift session. Span super easy for 87 min. Followed 2 similar paced riders. Looks like my current sweet spot for Zwifting is just under 120W or 1.7w/kg. I pedal around 3.2w/kg until 5 years ago. Aging is brutal.

Went out for a run to the pedestrian walk along a neighborhood creek after dark. Although the days are getting shorter, the cooler weather makes my runs easier. Today was under 20C. Ran 10 km easy. Felt great throughout. I could have gone a couple of miles farther if I had time. #running #cat

Went out to the pedestrian walk along a neighborhood creek at the sunset. A typhoon is moving to the north off the coast of our main island. We expect some strong wind and rain tomorrow. Ran 10 km just nice and easy. Felt great going out for a run after the 2 consecutive days of #Zwift. #running

Ran to the mother's nursing home. Delivered fresh fruits and snacks and saw my mother in her room. The weather was perfect for running. I ran to the north on my return trip and made it the 1st 10-mile run since early June. Bought a 5 kg rice bag on my way back and carried it. #running
