guided us through nice trees course and arond a lake ,Saiko course.One loop of Saiko is about 5km
.It has some up and down,greenery and nice view of the lake.Toality I ran about 18km.
After that we went to Onsen whichi was a real hot spring.I could rid of the stress of the trainning and
my daily life.Also it was fun to have lunch and chat with member.I'd like to join Shiki long run again!!
