Friendly Faces, Friendly Atmosphere

Perfect weather for today's Kyoto Marathon. I met these children from my school. They were spending the weekend with their grandparents and they said they would be looking out for me. I also met one of my old colleagues, supporting the runners with his wife and daughter. After finishing in my second best time, four hours thirteen minutes, my running pal Randy and I went to Katsura for an onsen and a meal. A great day all round.
