The transformation begins, from the Nobu we all know. . .
to the possessed speed demon.
You have now entered the Nobu Zone!
Check out the spectators!
I'm sorry, but these all get posted, look at this guy!
A man possessed, the most incredible transformation I've ever seen!
Now, THAT is the Nobu I know and love!

I've never been much of a runner, but the desire is there.
