Eight years and eighty-one days in a row have passed since I decided against smoking.
I was able to keep 21-time push-ups for the seventeenth successive
day and more than 9-time push-ups for the thirty-third straight day.

It's been rainin in Nagoya since early this morning.
It is a little cold rain and I had to wear a pair of rain coats.
As always, using a pair of rain coats is troublesome to wear and
after the use of it, it is also troublesome to dry and fold them.
However, raining itself at this time of the year means that the season
of cherry blossoms is drawing nearer....
Well, I have to be willing to accept such a chore.

Push-ups ：２１ times

I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking for eight years
and eighty days in a row.
I was able to keep greater than 9-time push-ups for the thirty-second
conecutive day including the latest sixteen days of 21-time push-ups.

I resumed jogging-on-the-spot for 15 minutes and I did a 40+40-minute
walking for the first time in a very long time.
I really hope to increase the frequency of 40+40M walking as part of
preparation for a planned 4-hour walking in May this year.
By the way, on my way to the workplace today, I saw a car which turned right
using its left turn signal.
It was very dangerous and I was narrowly able to avoid contact with the car.
I've renewed my awareness many times and indeed, Japanese drivers are very dangerous.

I have been able to do without smoking for eight years and seventy-nine days in a row.
I was able to keep at least 10-time push-ups for the thirty-first
straight day including the latest fifteen days of 21 times of them.

I didn't do jogging-on-the-spot yesterday for the first time in
four days simply because I felt I needed a break from time to time.
It is greatly sunny in Nagoya and I really enjoy feeling spring is
surely and steadily drawing nearer and nearer.
Though the pain in the neck I got three days ago is still here, the
pain is steadily getting milder and milder.
Now I am confident that the pain will disappear in a few days....I really hope so.

I was able to keep no-smoking for eight years and seventy-seven days in a row.
I was also able to keep 21-time push-ups for the thirteenth consecutive
day and over 9-time push-ups for the twenty-ninth successive day.

It is greatly sunny today again in Nagoya and it is not so windy.
Though the predicted highest temmperature is lower than yesterday,
I feel spring is steadily drawing nearer and nearer little by little.
It would be better for me to start planning to go and enjoy plum blossoms.
I got a severe pain in my neck yesterday and plastered there.
Fortunately, the pain is getting milder and milder.
I really hope the pain will disappear very soon.

It has been eight years and seventy-six days in a row since I broke
my bad habit of smoking.
I was able to keep more than 9-time push-ups for the twenty-eighth
straight day including the most recent twelve days of 21-time push-ups.

It is beautifully sunny in Nagoya and there were no clouds in the
blue skies while riding my bike on my way to the workplace.
But actually, it's a little too windy.
I overslept this morning and I've started wondering if I should
use an alarm clock since I have never used one for about 20 years.
The main reason why I overslept might be ..... aging.ＴＴ

Eight years and seventy-five days in a row have passed since I
shook off a bad habit of smoking.
I was able to keep 21-time push-ups for the eleventh consecutive day
and greater than 9-time push-ups for the twenty-seventh successive day.

It's greatly sunny in Nagoya today and I feel a little warm.
I'm sure spring must be just around the corner.
I went to a book store of Maruzen in Sakae yesterday and bought a
book for preparation for 1st grade English proficiency test or Eiken
in Japanese, which costs 2000 yen plus consumption tax.
I've been determined to try my best to master this book....
Anyway, determination is also important, right?
