The challenges..

OK, so as a follow up to the first post intro I thought I might explain some future content. This year I have decided to take on a few challenges and they line up as follows.....

1. Ujigawa City Half Marathon  (宇治川ハーフマラソン）27th Feb 2011
2. Run the Kyoto Isshu Trail　(京都一周トレイル）...see Hike Kyoto.
3. Kyoto 36 Peak Mountain Marathon （17回 東山三十六峰）16th Dec 2011
4. Increase my mileage..

These are the challenges so far and the list may grow but the number 2 is a biggie as its all trail and I'll be doing it unsupported so the next couple of months are research and that will be blogged on Hike Kyoto.

Happy trails.

First Post....

Welcome to Running Kyoto!! I hope to share some great info about running in and around Kyoto including some cool routes. I also want to share as much info about running in Japan as I can but there are already some great blogs out there that do it so I'll link to them and focus mostly on Kyoto. The sister blog Hike Kyoto should add to this site and give you plenty of info to make your trip or daily life a wee bit more interesting. So that's the intro stay posted and this weekend should see some great routes up and running.
