S**t marathoners say

Funny video by a guy who is actually a good marathoner—2:16. Runs with the Hansons group in the US.

Naked Athletes!

2011-10-06T12:10:34+00:00

Here are photos of naked athletes from ESPN (US sports network).

Naturally as runners, we are most interested in Ryan Hall, although the guys may have other favorites.

I don’t know who a lot of these athletes are. Apollo Ohno of course is the short track speed skater and Hope Solo is the star of the US women’s soccer team. Jose Reyes is a baseball player, and Steven Jackson is a football player.

I love these music and dancing flash mobs that are appearing recently.

Here’s a great one in a mall somewhere in the US.

Used shoes

2010-11-14T02:06:39+00:00

I have 5 or 6 pairs of running shoes that I no longer use. Is there any way to recycle them in Japan. I long ago gave up trying to give these and other clothes to charities as all seem to want new or nearly new things. Too bad since these are definitely in good enough condition for someone who can’t afford shoes.
