I had a great over-night stay at the island of Izu Oshima over the weekend.
The island is famous for beautiful camellia flowers.
The run was attended by some 1,000 people. Actually, 14,000 runners registered, but because of the bad weather, 400 could not come. It was fun, but the course was very hilly - also had a lot of wind and some down pour during the race.
