Six years and one hundred and seventy-three days in a row have passed since I kicked smoking.
I was able to keep 22-time push-ups for the sixth successive day and more than
15-time push-ups for the one hundred and twentieth straight day.

It's actually cloudy in Nagoya and it's a little humid, I feel.
Yesterday I went to Nagoya Science Museum and enjoyed its planetarium
for the fist time in about three months.
I also enjoyed its laboratory for extreme cold or Gokkan Labo and
another famous laboratory for electric discharge or Houden Labo.
I enjoyed both of them for the second time.
I especially like Houden Labo because I feel excited at the extremely
loud noise and beautiful discharge lights.

I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking for six years and one hundred and seventy-one days in a row.
I was able to keep at least 16-time push-ups for the one hundred and eighteenth
consecutive day including the most recent four days of 22 times of them.

It's again sunny in Nagoya and there is almost no wind near my workplace and it's quiet.
After a three-day break following the 4-hour walking to Kuwana, I resumed
an over-40-minute walking and standing-on-one-foot.
I would like to start planning another walking, which I think should be shorter
than a 4-hour walking, maybe, 3 hours or so.
I hope to go to an unfamiliar town.

I was able to keep no-smoking for six years and one hundred and seventy days in a row.
I was also able to keep 22-time push-ups for the third successive day and over
15-time push-ups for the one hundred and seventeenth straight day.

On my way to the workplace in the morning, there were completely no clouds in
the blue skies and I could enjoy seeing mountains in the distance including Mt.
Ontake, which usually cannot be seen in summer.
By the way, I believe the root of all evil is violation of the rights.
For example, war and global warming are always jeopardizing the right of existence.
So, I think abuse-free is one of the keystones of happiness.

It has been six years and one hundred and sixty-nine days in a row since I stopped smoking.
I was able to keep more than 15-time push-ups for the one hundred and sixteenth
successeve day including the latest two days of 22-time push-ups.

After two rainy days, it's greatly sunny in Nagoya today.
Unlike the rainy days, it's really crisp and the breeze is brisk and soft.
The physical fatigue from the 4-hour walking is finally about to disappear,
but actually I still feel just a little tiredness.
Very luckily, I will be able to have three days off in a row from tomorrow.
I really hope to spend them meaningfully.

Six years and one hundred and sixty-eight days in a row have passed since I broke free from cigaretts.
I was able to increase the number of push-ups by just one time to 22 times and
kept at least 16-time push-ups for the one hundred and fifteen consecutive day.

It's been raining since yesterday in Nagoya and I had to wear a pair of raincoats
for the second successive day.
Very happily, I feel the fatigue from the 4-hour walking is much milder than I
felt two years ago.
I guess it might have been effective for me to take some energy drink and jelly
before, during and after the walking.
Anyway, I hope the fatigue will disappear as soon as possible.
