City 3 done!

Just back from Tokyo...

Completed the 5km time trial at a running track with a local running club in a time of 19 minutes and 2 seconds!

Personal best for me so am pleased...especially since it was 35 degrees and very humid (as you can tell from the sweaty picture below!)

Thanks to the running club for letting me take part and for taking me for a curry afterwards! Super fun night :-)
