Diary
I woke up at 6:30 AM by alarm clock of mobile phone, but I  slept again and got up at 8:30 AM. And left hotel around 9:30.  I spent a lot of time in Shiogama shrine and reached Shiogama port at 10:57 AM. I confrmed bike can be got on a boat and jumped on a boat. The boat left for Matsushima at 11:00 AM. I also spent a lot of time in Matsushima and left there at 2:00 PM. And the time I left Ishinomaki was 5:00 PM. I thought, "Let's run fast to Ichinoseki", but many calls for job didn't accept me fast run. They irritated me very much and I took more than 1 ourt for the calls. I reached Ichinoseki over 10:00 PM. Route 342 must be good road, if I could run in the day time. The night run made me forlorn. I felt something warm in a shop I drop in around 9:00 PM.

Tomorrow is Hiraizumi and hill climb!!
