In November 2009 I did a very foolish thing. I agreed to take part in a 10km run in Nagoya. The run itself was absolute agony, but sheer doggedness (and a toilet pit stop in 7-11 at 5kms) got me through. Did the 10kms in 67 minutes. Drank about 8 steins of lager afterward in about 15 minutes. I know which was easier! On the way to Nagoya I passed Mt. Fuji, close. It really is a rather large mountain. I climbed it a long time ago, and am tempted by it again. The Japanese have a saying that if you don't climb Mt. Fuji once in your life, you are stupid, but if you climb Mt. Fuji more than once, you are equally as stupid (thank you Mr. Deno). I feel the first stirrings of stupidity...
