translated by Brett Larner

Jogging enthusiast Imperial Crown Prince Hironomiya ran outside the Akasaka Imperial Grounds in Tokyo's Minato Ward on Mar. 11, running two laps in 33 minutes.

Translator's note: One lap of the course which the prince ran is 3.34 km and includes two considerable uphills. 5 min / km is quite respectable there. The prince seems to be allowed out to run once a year or so, and, when it is reported, consistently turns in a decent pace.
