I have been able to do without smoking for six years and two hundred and fifty-one days in a row.
I was able to keep over 15-time push-ups for the one hundred and ninety-eighth straight
day including the most recent two days of 27-time push-ups.

I was very surprised to hear that Tokyo had seen rainy days for the sixteenth consecutive day.
This is said to be the first time in forty years.
By constrast, I feel Nagoya has not seen so many rainy days so far.
By the way, I've noticed that new babies of rice ears in the rice paddies on my way
to the workplace have begun emerging, which means this year's harvest season is
steadily drawing nearer and nearer.
Well, I may have to begin planning to do a middle-distance walking in fall.
