New personal distance record: South Tokyo half-marathon

Tom and I continued our training for the Tokyo Marathon 2010 this morning with our longest run yet – 22.5km around the south of Tokyo.

It was great fun, as we weren’t following any prescribed route, rather, just left Naka-Meguro at 7.30am and headed in the general direction of Rainbow Bridge, taking any road which looked interesting.

Here’s our route. You can view this is 3D in Google earth by downloading this file.

Bizarre… a man playing a piano on a roof

Some kind of rich religious chemistry cult?

Feel’s good to have done that. Good start to a Sunday.
