Idle hours in Japanese Hotels spawn blog creations...

First post! I don't know if I'm ever actually going to use this Blog or to open it to eyes other than my own defective pair, but here goes entry number one.

I'm in Japan.
More specifically, I'm in my hotel room, on floor 14 of Hotel Hanshin, which is located in Osaka, Japan. By barricading myself inside this unusually tiny space (relative to grandiose American standards), I am effectively shielding myself from the light and heat of the outside world. The reason for this imprisonment is that I'll be battling both of these elements soon enough, as I take to the track in a few hours...

My hotel room boasts a heated toilet seat, tea maker, two beds - one of which serves double-duty as a chair for the bed, and a great view of the city. More to come later....
