Undo-kai 2013

Tamaire

We called Undo-Kai in Japanese. Kohtaro joined Japanese sports festival (presented by Northern Mariana Islands Japanese Association) in last Sat, Feb 23. He had second times join this festival and Kohjiro also joined and did work hard. Yes, they did works well even not much understand to using Japanese for communication.

One scene makes us laugh that Kohjiro participated 20 m run and after called start he followed one of starter who our neighbor I mean he didn't run to the goal then people tell him to run to the goal!! I know he didn't understand what they explain the rule of programs. 

Ready?

Kohtaro had injured his ankle last year but has no pain on this time so he was really enjoyed with friends and Kohjiro excited to see some of friends too especially he is now waiting the head start program there is many kids likes him.

After this program, The exam of Kanji and Katakana word will wait for him that he may have a it on Sat and almost finish his 1st grade year by March.Hope he got good memories because I know he is working hard to study in Japanese word even not much understand that's okay Please keep continue to go to Japanese class, Don't give up!!

Island style soccer.

give snacks after U6 practice

Kohtaro has started new soccer season under U-10 team in February. some new teammate in the team. They lost the game on Saturday afternoon and he got good chance to score and shoot but all shoot goes to goal post. He couldn't make a score at this time.

enjoy?

Kohjiro also started new soccer season under U-6 team and he has practice with other U-6 team and other team's coach remembered him and call his name friendly. Hope He will be more enjoy to play soccer. Kohtaro got a lesson from other team coach during Kohjiro has practice. I love kind of style that I mean peaceful and kindly people who to be coaching to kids. They will be enjoy to play soccer even other sports and must be learn something important.

Run and Run.

Doing the ruffle

I ran to DFS love for Run (I think?) anyway 10 KM fun run Saturday 6:00am. DFS has usually open the fun run in June but it's first time open fun run on February. My time was 49:42 but I didn't know final record by over all even by age. unfortunately I lost ruffle ticket.....

around 06:00am 

I'm having pain with my left knee since last year but I need to training for Saipan Marathon (Mar 02) I tried to run 21Km half marathon on Friday morning and it was 2:05:29 I didn't stop that could be keep on running but my knee had pain so I don't know what's going on the Marathon? anyway, I try to running for Mar 02 as long as I can.

The result of Trail Run

Rain cloud'll come to us soon 

We ran to Mt.Tapocau again after a week from the  race because one of friend couldn't join and for his birthday run this time.

Unfortunately, the weather was windy, cloudy and little cold on the mountain area but we stick to move and had fun.

after 10 min, Strong rain

The result of Coffee trail was came out that overall number is 9th (total 42 runners) 2:22:51 and by age 5th place. I was surprised the result because there is 5 people of my age (40-49) in best 10. I got a 1st prize by age in 2012 but time was more to be firster because my record of 2012 was just 30 second firster than 2013.

Anyway, my result is ok for me because I didn't much training and this is my longest distance run on 2013. I know I need more long distance because Saipan Marathon will be soon.
