Where I had a meeting was runnable from the previous place I was at, so I did a rehearsal previous night. But I got lost... I went to a meeting by a public transportation and passed through a shopping street on a way back.
Castella is my breakie menu on the day of a race. I think that it'd be good to take some sugar and oil is not used so it'd be easy to digest it. Well, I eat daifuku and others though...
向こうに見えるのが職人さんです。「今日はちょっと焦がしちゃって」。
A man beyond a showcase makes them. "I burnt it little bit today."
In fact, I had dull pain at an inside of left knee and a side of left hip, plus I couldn't move left knee every morning when I wake up because it hurts after Arakawa 30K race. I also feel that my hip is pulled all the time and sometimes electricity-like feeling runs around a hip and a spine (...geee, I realized that this sounds awful, doesn't it?). So I run only once a week recently.
In my case, one of Quadriceps femoris muscle*,vastus medialis (a red part in an illustration), is stiff. That's why I felt my knee was funny and it caused pain in the morning.
そこをこんな感じで揉みほぐしてもらいました。
So I got massaged there like this.
＊ちなみにあとの3つは大腿直筋、外側広筋、中間広筋。
* And the rest of them are the rectus muscle of thighs, the vastus lateralis muscles, and the intermediate great muscles.
なぜ凝ったか？ 走る時に膝が内側に倒れ気味だからだそうです。
Why it got stiff? When I run, my left knee is leaning to inside.
なぜ凝り固まったか？ 走り終わった際にきちんと疲れが抜けていないからだそうです。
Why it stays stiff? When I finish a race or an exercise, tiredness is not come off perfectly.
Of course the whole body is one set. All muscle is connected so I was checked not only leg, but also back and hip. And he said "...this is stiff," "...here as well," "....stiff, isn' it?" ...kinda embarrassing.
And another self-stretch of gluteus medius muscle is laying down on your side and put golf ball or tennis ball under your hip, then roll it with moving your side of hip. You'd really feel it when a golf ball touches a spot, so you might want to start with a bigger ball.
I thought that I might get blackout because of pain, means I have THAT much stiff muscle, "Your pain is not because you hurt somewhere, so you can get better with running. Running lose your muscle up. You may feel tired today and tomorrow, but I recommend to move your legs" he said.
というわけで、こんな雪の中を（最寄り駅からですが）歩いて帰ってみましたよ！
So at least I walked from my nearest station to home in this snow!
うん、でも行く前より格段に足が軽い！ 嬉しい！！
But I feel my leg is so light! Oh, I feel so good!
Whenever there is a meeting in Omotesando area, I recommend Aoyama Andersen to meet. I just wonder it's because I'm from Hiroshima or I'm The Bread Runner... I guess both ; )
今日は青山アンデルセンにてランチミーティング後、渋谷方面へ。
After lunch meeting at Aoyama Andersen today, I headed to Shibuya.
CW-X was born 20 year ago, it's based on one female staff's need. She worked for Wacoal Inc. human science laboratory and loves ski. One winter she hurted her legs but wanted to ski that season. Then she thought "Is there any way to make something to support my leg...?" That's how CW-X product has started.
High performance tights need to be cared when washing, but we can use it for a long time if we pay attention well to washing instructions.
「手洗い」表示ならお風呂に一緒に持って入って洗うのも手ですね。あ、温度表示の確認もお忘れなく。
It's one idea to wash it in a bathroom if it says "hand-wash." But please make sure to check a temperature instruction before you soak it in hot water.
I checked out an inner shirt for running outside in this season. It was a tough a choice between thin wool and chemical material, so couldn't make up my mind after all.
皆さん、この時期何を下に着ていらっしゃいます？
What do you use as an inner shirt? Wool or chemical?
JR恵比寿駅西口より50m未満です。
It's less than 50m from West exit of JR Ebisu Station.
If you are a runner and once you step inside of a shop, which has just opened this October 1, you'd get too excited and dizzied with all those shoes and gears.
He loves outdoor sports like not only running but also surfing and snowboard, etc. You can order your own insole here. It'd be worth to have a good talk with Toburo-san about your shoes, runners in Hiroshima?
