| 1 |
We run because it's fun |
| 2 |
For the memories of summer |
| 3 |
To sightsee in Obuse |
| 4 |
Because having no oceanfront is not only NOT a disadv antage, but an asset, since it summons our ingenuity |
| 5 |
We run to beautify the town. |
| 6 |
Because it's an excuse to hang with our friends |
| 7 |
It makes us push ourselves to the max |
| 8 |
It's great conditioning for those times when we have to leap into action |
| 9 |
Today's common sense is no sense at all |
| 10 |
Great things happen when we all invest our sweat equity |
| 11 |
We're as psyched as the folks who gather to cheer us on |
| 12 |
It's a great boost for the local economy |
| 13 |
A chance to show visitors our Shinshu and Obuse hospitality |
| 14 |
It's a great workout |
| 15 |
A running start to vault us into a new era |
| 16 |
The town gets a full makeover |
| 17 |
We get a chance to make new friends |
| 18 |
To each his own pace |
| 19 |
A chance to sell some shoes |
| 20 |
Our steps grow lighter |
| 21 |
A chance to run with live musical accompaniment |
| 22 |
A free concert |
| 23 |
The opportunity to start and finish a task in a single day |
| 24 |
I think I can! I think I can! |
| 25 |
Try and you'll succeed. |
| 26 |
Neglect is a no-no. |
| 27 |
Mountains, and more mountains |
| 28 |
Hit your stride, and still another mountain to climb. |
| 29 |
A town on the move is a town with vitality |
| 30 |
Towns exist for the sake of their residents |
| 31 |
Police work at the pleasure of citizens |
| 32 |
Local government must justify its existence. |
| 33 |
Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country |
| 34 |
We aspire to activities appropriate for a small town like Obuse |
| 35 |
Keeping our dreams alive |
| 36 |
Don't put off 'til tomorrow what you can do today |
| 37 |
If young people are discouraged, it's because adults aren't trying hard enough |
| 38 |
If adults do their best, young people will, too |
| 39 |
Teach by example. |
| 40 |
Becoming at one with the passing scenery |
| 41 |
Culture comes alive when it's a shared experience |
| 42 |
Life is a marathon |
| 43 |
Running means continually hitting walls |
| 44 |
We have to shift from "you can do it," to "anyone can do it" |
| 45 |
PR for the farming industry |
| 46 |
A gathering of running fans |
| 47 |
Strong communication ensures safety |
| 48 |
A town that puts cars ahead of pedestrians is banal. |
| 49 |
Just half a day, once every 365 |
| 50 |
Construction means traffic suddenly grinds to a halt for half the year |
| 51 |
People are the sum of their experiences |
| 52 |
A soul-building experience |
| 53 |
Building a town starts with building its people |
| 54 |
From "it's hopeless" to "it's possible" |
| 55 |
When there's a will there's a way |
| 56 |
Half-hearted is boring |
| 57 |
A town where we put in 110 percent is a fun town |
| 58 |
Let's stop making excuses and start making our town great! |
| 59 |
Simple solutions are best |
| 60 |
Restoring flexibility is key |
| 61 |
When the going gets tough, the solution lies in pooling our collective wisdom |
| 62 |
We don't do this for ourselves, but to inspire the next generation |
| 63 |
When opportunities bud, adults should try not to squash them |
| 64 |
"No" isn't an option. It's "how"? |
| 65 |
Let's think it over together |
| 66 |
Watering flowers makes them grow. |
| 67 |
Give people a chance, and they'll grow |
| 68 |
Be tough only on naysayers |
| 69 |
When people pull you down, stretch yourself up |
| 70 |
At all costs, don't destroy opportunities for young people |
| 71 |
Keep dreaming, and you'll stay young. |
| 72 |
When the body gets moving, the brain does too |
| 73 |
Let's think big, together |
| 74 |
Preparation is not a goal in life. |
| 75 |
Becoming rigid leads to stuffiness and formality |
| 76 |
A fun attitude leads to a fun and good result |
| 77 |
It's not "it will turn out OK," but "I'll see that it turns out OK" |
| 78 |
It's about doing our best, to the max |
| 79 |
Eat a lot, run a lot, sleep well |
| 80 |
Ordinary people fulfill only 70 percent of their potential |
| 81 |
The difference between ordinary and extraordinary effort is that last 20 or 30 percent - and that's the margin between winning and losing |
| 82 |
Summer is for adults to create beautiful memories, too |
| 83 |
Fun is the act of overcoming adversity |
| 84 |
Life is short so we have to create lots of memories |
| 85 |
Life is long, so we need to find the knack of staying healthy |
| 86 |
The satisfaction of achieving a goal |
| 87 |
Fitness in mind and body |
| 88 |
Fan out, grow prosperous |
| 89 |

And finally, there's that old saying: You can do anything if you try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. "I can't do it," is proof you didn't try. |
