I've been sticking to the training schedule for 6 weeks now, and it's going pretty well. Today I decided to inflict it I mean share it with my husband! We rode the subway over to Tokyo Station, which is really amazing in itself. It's huge and completely overwhelming when you're inside trying to find a train, but on the outside there is one exit with a facade that dates back to 1914. Here it is, currently under renovation:

From the train station, we walked over to the Imperial Palace, which is a really popular place for both strolling and jogging. The palace grounds are surrounded by a moat where ducks, koi, and even giant swans like to float around. On the outside of the moat is a wide sidewalk that goes in an uninterrupted loop for about 5K. I ran two laps and tacked on a little extra to make it 6.4 miles, total.
It was a perfect day for running and there were lots of people out there enjoying it with us: girls, guys, and couples all working out in various layers of highly technical running gear. And for me it was a nice change since I don't often see other runners on my routes. Tourists? Check. Car enthusiasts? Check. And old Japanese guys dressed as 50's gang members while throwing a makeshift dance party? Check! But runners? Not so much.
Afterwards we stopped at Dean & Deluca in Marunouchi for a delicious grilled chicken sandwich to go. Yum!

The Imperial Palace looks very small. Does the whole royal family live there...how many people does that include?
The royal family does live there, but actually you can't see the palace in these pictures. The palace sits behind a big stone fence, and they only let people inside twice a year. The white building you can see in the background is just some sort of guardhouse. Follow the "Imperial Palace" link in the post to learn more. Thanks for your comment!
