I can honestly tell you we were having the time of our lives, even though the temperatures dipped into the low 30's. The main reason for our travel to Japan was to run the half marathon and to enjoy our special relationship with the Urayasu Runners Club.  Little did we know they would have their first snow fall in 2 years and it was much too dangerous for people to run so they cancelled the event.  The event name has officially been changed by those in attendance to the Urayasu City Sushi and Beer Run! Sugoi!

While visiting Japan was exciting and beautiful, we cannot begin to tell you how much more fun it was to run with our Sister City Club members in the Urayasu Runners Club. That along with with our Home Stay families is what made this trip very Memorable.  Stacey thanks the ORC and the City of Orlando for the opportunity and should any of you want to travel to Japan to experience what only handfulls have before us, make sure you join the Orlando Runners Club and get involved.

Sayonara,
Eric Bartos
