April running: More PBs

Took a bit too many days off this month and with a trip during Golden Week the same thing might happen in May. Fortunately, both workouts and racing have been great. Went under 16 minutes in 5000 again under terrible weather conditions and barely did not make it under 4.10 in the official time of the Kumagaya 1500 ... on my watch I did break 4.10 though so I will leave the pb as an unofficial 4.09 :-)

I've been playing soccer for the past few months and have decided to post these days as part of my physical training. Apparently playing soccer is a good workout.
