Looks like today is going to be another lovely day in Anan.

Why would you want to live anywhere else?

This Spring has been one of the wettest Springs I can remember since coming to Japan. Normally it probably wouldn't have bothered me quite so much except for the fact that this year I'm trying to get out and exercise as much as possible. Needless to say, I've been riding and running in soggy gear more often than not... :)

I was having a bit of a play in photoshop this morning, as I haven't had the chance to do that is quite some time. It's fun.

Have a great day.

A couple of days ago the temperature was mid 20s, it's now back down to around 5.... What on earth is going on.

I've been doing my exercise inside the last week or so. I'm getting used to riding on rollers again. When the weather is good and the wind is soft, I'll be outside anytime. However with the spring wind, it's not really that safe to be outside most of the time. So, inside I go.

I do, however, still need to ride with a wall on each side. I guess I'll get better but it's in those moments when you lose concentration that things get a little hairy.

Have a great, cold, day. Hopefully this is the last of the cold weather. I also wish the rain would run away. :)

If you are able to head up the river during the early morning, you are in for a treat. Peaceful and beautiful.

I've become a little busier in life these days between work and family. It's the familiar double-edged sword of living. You need to exercise in order that have the energy to complete all of the tasks that you have to do in the day, but finding that time is quite a challenge.

So, I wake up early and head out the door for some "me" time, and boy does it make a difference to the day. Saying that, I've been doing this all through winter and that means going out and arriving home in the dark.

It's spring now, so I can finally see some of the fantastic scenery that is on offer around this area.

It just makes it all worth while.

Have a great day.
