Six years and one hundred and forty-two days in a row have passed since I gave up smoking.
I was able to keep 25-time push-ups for the sixth consecutive day and over
17-time push-ups for the eighty-ninth successive day.

It's greatly sunny in Nagoya with the predicted highest temperature of 25 degrees.
Actually, I feel it's crisp and maybe the best season for outdoor activities has come.
After two days of 40-minute walking, I'd like to walk 90 minutes today though I still
feel just a little pain in my right knee.
Anyway, I have to enjoy such a nice day.

I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking for six years and one hundred and forty-one days in a row.
I was able to keep more than 17-time push-ups for the eighty-eighth straight day
including the latest five days of 25 times of them.

After an over 2-hour walking, I felt pretty tired and a little pain in my right knee yesterday.
I put a plaster there and now I feel the pain is getting milder and milder.
I know I must not try too hard, but I may have done too hard.
Anyway, I'd like to enjoy moderate walking during the Golden Week holiday period.

I was able to keep no-smoking for six years and one hundred and forty days in a row.
I was also able to keep 25-time push-ups for the fourth straight day and
at least 18-time push-ups for the eighty-seventh consecutive day.

I went to Ten-nou-gawa Park yesterday to enjoy seeing its famous festival of Japanese wisteria.
But unfortunately, I think it's too early because the blossoms of purple Fuji were
in only 30 to 40% bloom.
And if possible, I would like to visit the festival some day again when the blossoms are in full bloom.
Well, actually, I think the transportation fare is expensive.
I took a Maitetsu bus from Chikatetsu Iwatuka to Atago-Jutaku-Mae, which cost 590 yen, and
on my way back from Tsushima Bus terminal to Chikatetsu Iwatuska, which cost 620 yen.

I'm afraid that I have a tight schedule today and cannot afford to be here any longer.

It has been six years and one hundred and thirty-eight days in a row since I quit smoking.
I was able to keep over 17-time push-ups for the eighty-fifth successive day
including the most recent two days of 25-time push-ups.

It has been raining since late this morning and I feel it's getting worse.
Weather ladies say it will be rainy all day in Nagoya but the rain clouds
will have passed through Nagoya by early tomorrow morning.
The forecast must come true since I'm planning to go to a park to enjoy
seeing blossoms of Japanese wisteria if weather and my schedule permit.

Six years and one hundred and thirty-seven days in a row have passed since I broke my bad habit of smoking.
I managed to increase the number of push-ups by only one time to 25 times
and kept more than 17-time push-ups for the eighty-fourth consecutive day.

It's greatly sunny today again in Nagoya.
I did a total of 110-minute walking yesterday for the first time in a long time.
I walked from my workplace near Iwatsuka Subway Station to AEON Chaya store
as part of my preparation for planned long-distance walking in May,
which I couldn't do last year due mainly to my foot pain from the gout.
Anyway, I hope I can this year if weather and my schedule permit.
