Running Team’s Year-End Party at Inadatsutsumi

Today, December 23rd, we had a beautiful clear blue sky from this morning. Under such clear skies, we held a year-end party for the Hattori Running Team.

I really like that it’s done cleanly at noon, or that it’s like a running team.

He said, « Come to Inadatsutsumi at 10:30. » We ran. 14.3 km from our house, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

先週フルマラソンを走っているので脚は万全でしたが、その後の暴飲暴食で結構カラダがなまっていたようです、意外とハードな14kmとなりました。

Even so, I arrived 10 minutes before the meeting time. I was drinking a cup of coffee, but I ended up making everyone wait.

Now, we moved to the venue, Tanukiya.

Oops, I guess this is it…

大丈夫かなあと不安でしたが、とりあえず開店まで1時間ほどあるようなのでちょっとランニング。ランニング好きの集まりですから。決して飲兵衛の集まりではありませんので。

So, this was my second run of the day. To be honest, it was hard because the temperature was rising and my legs were getting very hot, but I was so hungry that I really wanted to quit many times during the run, but I managed to run 7km.

By the time we got back, the shop was open.

Then, the year-end party started.

ご飯が美味しい！！空腹は最高のなんちゃら、もちろんそれはあるかもしれない、でも、ほんとほっとする味わい、おでん、カレー、焼きそば、鶏鍋、どの料理もおいしかったです。

盛り上がってたので、殆ど写真は撮れませんでした。このくらい？しかし、結構頼みました、食べました。なのに、一人2,000円とかありえません。

By the way, I’ve been to two year-end parties so far this year, the first one was 3,500 yen (Gyoza at Kamata) and the second one was 2,000 yen, so the average price was less than 3,000 yen. What you have is your friend.

We left before 9am and returned after 3pm, a full morning and afternoon.

I ate a lot of food, but I ran 21km, so I’ll take it.

Thanks to this running team, I have had a lot of fun experiences this year, including the Medoc Marathon. I have also made new friends through this team.

来年もよろしくおねがいします。
