これは私のブログです。私は時々日本語で練習して書きます。私の生徒のためにも日本語で書きます。７月２日では二本松町のロードレースをしました。ハーフマラソン２１㎞走りました。 ロードレースは難しかったよ。最初の半分は急な上りでした。疲れた。二本松は田舎ですね。雨が降りませんでしたしかし曇り空でした。二本松はすごい緑ですよ。
Well, I don't know if this is going to work or not, but the above is a brief description of my 1/2 Marathon in Nihonmatsu. While I can speak Japanese pretty well after two years, I still have very limited reading and writing skills. Japanese has 2 syllabary alphabets that I know well enough, but unfortunately they are only used for grammar and children's books. The writing system primarily uses characters derived from Chinese, and I've been putting off studying them for a long time. So, from time to time, for my own benefit in learning the writing system as well as any students that might be reading, I'm going to be writing some Japanese.
As for the 1/2 Marathon, It was a lot more difficult than I expected. I'll get the timesheet in the mail soon, but I finished 10 minutes later than my goal. I crossed the finish line after one hour and 41 minutes. It was a pretty good day for racing. Thick grey clouds threatened rain, but kept me cool during the run. Nihonmatsu is a very pretty area, filled with thick cedar forests and green rice fields over rugged rolling hills.
The problem was that the entire first half of the race was uphill!! It was exausting!! If it was flat, I bet I could've gotten a better time. Runners, is 1:41 a good time for a half marathon?
I'll have pictures soon.
