Run for Japan

Last long run completed yesterday - 24 miles of dirt roads, verges, main roads and finally the trail home - all dedicated to Japan via Run for Japan.  

It is hard to imagine what the Japanese have experienced, and this video from the deck of a ship gives only a small indication of the size of the tsunami but it is still incredible. Listening to Dr. Donald Keene on the radio yesterday provided an informative insight to the culture of Japan, and the strength and resilience of the nation. Maybe a run in Japan will be the way to show more support over the coming years.

A friend recently gave me a turquoise Zuni bear fetish - for strength and good health/ healing. It's a wonderful symbol for everyone out there, all marathon runners and yogis, and especially those in Japan.
