A Happy New Year 2009!
I wish you have a happy year.
We pay the first visit of the year to a shrine.
But I haven't pay the first visit of the year to a shrine yet.
I pay there in a couple of days.
And the NEW YEAR EKIDEN held in Gunma pref.
37 ekiden teams competed 100km 7 sections.
Japanese top runners competed in Gunma.
Last section, 3 teams, Fujitsu, Nissin and Asahi Kasei competed
immediately before finish line.
Finally, Fujitsu ekiden team won a victory!(This picture is different.)
I was excited!
This is "Gunma-chan".
He is a mascot charactor of Gunma pref.
Well...
Have a nice year 2009!
