Diary
 I left Furukawa at 7:44 AM. Iwadeyama, Naruko........gradually climbing.......I ran very comfortably in the head wind. The shop owner in front of Hojin no Ie said, "Kiyoshiro Imawano also came here by bike". Yes, he was my senior who toured Narrow Road to the Interior by bike. I remembered it.
The Akakuro Onsen side road of Natagiri Pass was closed, but I climbed from the other side.
It was a very peacefull run today. Many haiku (verse) were coming out. Now I am in full throttle!
