April 1, 2011. The first of a series that involves running. After the devastating earthquake in Eastern Japan, most major marathons and other runs had been canceled. Although Tokyo has been relatively spared, there have been few people on the streets. Just the tough salarymen and old schoolers...then there is me! While receiving weird looks as though I am crazy, I continue to run to make the point that life goes on...in fact it goes on happily and healthily! The world media has also described Japan as in an Apocalyptic situation. Far from it I say!! Peace
