I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. And I'm sure Yanagi-kun would be gratified to know that his training menus have more than paid off. I made excellent time on the trip here, even despite the necessity for breaks.

[Though traveling the routes is admittedly a little different than running laps around the familiar old campus. But he would've been a lot worse off if it hadn't been for all that training back home.]

The only area I've had to neglect is swing practice, and that's more a question of equipment than motivation.
