大手町から４分｜4 Minutes from Otemachi

今年も箱根駅伝は最後まで目が離せなかった。大学時代、いや高校生から箱根駅伝を目標に休みなく頑張っている若者がいると思うと箱根に足を向けて眠れない。大手町の読売新聞社前をスタートするのだが、今のサカキラボのある丸の内の国際ビルの横を通ってゆく。いつも歩いて20分くらいの距離なのだが、わずか4分でみな通過してゆく。もしかしたらタクシーよりも速いかもしれない。ボクも大手町と丸の内を走ってみようかな。（もちろんその区間だけだが）

I couldn't take my eyes off this year's Hakone Ekiden until the end. I think it is amazing that young people who are working hard every day with the goal of running the Hakone Ekiden when they were in college or even in high school. It starts in front of the Yomiuri Shimbun in Otemachi, and passes by the Kokusai Building in Marunouchi, where Sakaki Lab is now located. It usually takes about 20 minutes on foot, but it takes only 4 minutes to pass all of them. Maybe faster than a taxi. I think I'll try running Otemachi and Marunouchi too.
