Lu and Chris definitely gained weight.</p> <p>Then to DC United Party and Game. Carla, Philip and I enjoy the tailgate party and the game. The game sucked, but we still enjoyed! </p></div><div class="albumlink"><a href="http://aya.dabu.com/2/3213-A-week-in-May-2008" title="http://aya.dabu.com/2/3213-A-week-in-May-2008">Browse Album...</a></div></p></p>ayako_t@hotmail.com (Aya)http://aya.dabu.com/1/6153-A-week-in-May-20082008-05-08T12:30:00-05:00http://aya.dabu.com/1/6153-A-week-in-May-2008http://aya.dabu.com/1/5945-Wallyball-Tournament-Feb-23-24-2008<p class="body"><p><div class="albumdescription"><p>Wallyball Tournament was held at Providence Recenter on February 23 &amp; 24, 2008. 3 leagues - Rules, Competitive and Recreational - were played.

After 4.5 months of training including no late night activities, I finished running 10 miles on October 7, 2007! I had no confidence in finishing the race. The longest miles I trained was 8 miles and it was not easy. I suffered from muscle cramp and joint pain after the run and there was no way I could pull out another 2 miles. However..... I DID IT!!!!!</p> <p>The race was AMAZING! 26,000 people registered and about 18,000 completed the race. My time was 1:41:29. Not too bad for the first time. From our IMS team, George, Amy, MJ, Rick and Aaron ran. My friends, Eliko and Erge, also ran. I did not feel any pain during the run. The last 2 miles was still very tough. It was on the 14th street bridge with burning hot weather (upper 80s) on the black asphalt with no shades. I had to walk a bit there. </p> <p>I am so grateful and feel honored that I was a part of this memorable run. As you see in the pictures, there was a team of soldiers running with artificial legs. My friend, Kati, saw a blind man guided by rope from both of his sides. Teenagers to retired, healthy to wounded, - everybody ran his/her best. The energy, spirit and inspiration were more than I had expected. </p> <p>All the pictures here were taken by Kati. Thank you, Kati! And I think I will run again next year. I think I will...</p> <p>I would like to thank Nikki, Dawn (from IMS), Kati and Elis for coming to support us. I would like also to thank George for introducing me to this wonderful experience. Thank you!</p></div><div class="albumlink"><a href="http://aya.dabu.com/2/2971-Army-Ten-Miler" title="http://aya.dabu.com/2/2971-Army-Ten-Miler">Browse Album...</a></div></p></p>ayako_t@hotmail.com (Aya)http://aya.dabu.com/1/5406-Army-Ten-Miler2007-10-08T08:27:00-05:00http://aya.dabu.com/1/5406-Army-Ten-Milerhttp://aya.dabu.com/1/5374-DC-United<p class="body"><p><div class="albumdescription"><p>We, Hyzy contractors, won tickets to DC United vs Guadalajara game on September 26.

It was soooo far away and I got lost to get there! When I finally found the track, I heard the loud buzzing noise and people cheering. It took for a while to find 70 Estonians around the track. There were so many people completing filling around the track. It was so exciting and fun! Estonian rider did really well and I also saw a Japanese team racing as well! I saw a crowd of British people, Estonians (of course!) and a couple other countries. Unfortunately I did not see any Japanese people or flag there. So here is my mission. I will come back to Japanese flag next year!
