# Kangeiko (mid-winter training) started at the Kodokan

Today I woke up at 4:40. At 4:55 I was already walking out in the
(moderately) cold, walking to the train station.  I even had to run to
catch the train, because I left the house a bit late.  Kangeiko, the
midwinter taining, at Kodokan started today, and for the next 10 days
we'll have judo practice from 6-8 in the morning.

Despite catching the first train, I was a few minutes late, but that
just made things nicer since the dojo that greeted me was already
full.  Apparently the there ware 300 participants and the atmosphere
was priceless.
