I'm watching Hakone Ekiden on TV.

Seldom have I enjoyed it being busy about this time.

But my father used to watch it and said that once the race started,never could he stop watching it.

Well it's true.

I'm crying every time I see a runner pass on a sash to the next one.

I'm not kind of emotional person,but thinking of youngster's tough spirit to try their own goals,my tears well up.

Maybe I look back on my younger days at the same time.

Life is long,but it goes so fast that we don't have a time to take stock.
All right here comes another happy day!!

I definitely watch Ekiden final race tomorrow!!
