Girls meet Run with BABY-G
Text_Issey Enomoto
We feel like running has been firmly fixed as our routines
and it has gone beyond the bounds of the boom.
If you run anyway, it is better be fun and stylish in your own way.
In this fall, three girls who are interested in running have decided to challenge 26 miles full marathon
since they were dreaming about participating in a race someday.
Of course, stylish casual watch “BABY-G”s are on their hands and it’s suitable for running as well.
Their goal is to finish a “Yokohama Marathon” which will be held on October 29th, 2017.
We started off with a slow pace of running the outskirts of the Imperial Palace
which is about 5km just to get used to.
Here are three girls who attend this challenge as below. Maiko Yoshida (Left): Staff at EN ROUTE Futakotamagawa. Keimi Kigawa(Middle): Barista at STREAMER COFFEE COMPANY. Monica Schmitz (Right)：Yoga instructor, Dancer and Model
And let’s the running begin! “HOUYHNHNM Running Club” is supervised by GIRL HOUYHNHNM’s related magazine HOUYHNHNM and the manager Issei Enomoto and vice manager Hiroshi Yamamoto led us the outskirts of the Imperial Palace for running. The weather was neither too hot nor too cold on this day and it was just right. The night breeze there was very soothing as well.
There BABY-Gs are on their hands. The casual watch which is useful for running with a function of a pedometer for active women.

At Yokohama Marathon in October, I want to enjoy and finish the race with a smile without having to worry about the record.”
We started from Nagata-Cho, then Sakuradamon, Marunouchi, Takebashi and lastly ran through Hanzomon area, it took 40 minutes to run around the Imperial Palace. We came back to the start point after running about 5 km way.
Today’s running is finally finished. We sweated good and went home with a comfortable fatigue.
