I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking for eight years and
one hundred and seventy-three days in a row.

I was able to resume push-ups from 15 times, a total of 80-minute walking,
11-minute standing-on-one-foot and 10-minute jogging-on-the-spot because
the pain in my low back and that of canker have almost completely gone.
I would like to continue such physical exercieses and make steady preparations
for another middle-distance walking in an unfamiliar town.
This time, I have to be really careful about overwork.

I'm very much afraid that I don't have enough time to be here today.

I have been able to do without smoking for eight years and one hundred and
sevenyty-one days in a row.

After a heavy rain last night, it is now sunny in Nagoya and it's not too hot.
The muscle pain in my low back has almost completely gone now, but just in
case, I am not going to do push-ups for a few more days.
I'm planning to resume other physical exerciese little by little.
And I'm really looking forward to start preparation for a walking in an
unfamiliar town in the near future....but I'm afraid that summer heat
may prevent me from making adequate preparations.

I was able to keep no-smoking for eight years and one hundred and seventy
days in a row.

It has been raining in Nagoya since early this morning, sometimes heavily
and sometimes lightly, but it is not a tropical rain.
The forecast highest temperature in Nagoya is as low as(＾＾？）24 degrees,
down as many as nearly 10 degrees from the past three days.
I really hope those abnormally hot May days will never come back.
The pain in my low back is still here but it is just a little.
Reports say there was a horrible stabbing incident in Kawasaki....

It has been eight years and one hundred and sixty-nine days in a row
since I was able to rid myself of a bad habit of smoking.

To my relief, the muscle pain in my low back and a canker have finally
begun getting milder and now I'm sure these will completely disappear soon.
I'm not going to do push-ups and other physical exerciese today again
on the safe side and I'm going to resume them after my body condition
gets completely normal.
Well, now I might start planning another middle-distance walking.
Anyway, I might have taken a break with good timing because it has been
abnormally hot in Nagoya for these several days with the highest temperatures
of over 30 degrees.

Eight years and one hundred and sixty-eight days in a row have passed
since I decided against smoking.

I didn't do push-ups and other physical exercises yesterday because I
wanted to see how the muscle pain in my low back would go.
And actually I feel the pain was getting milder than the previous day.
So, I have decided not to do any physical exerciese today again and
it would be better for me to avoid them until such a pain completely disappear.
I learned the hard way that it is crucial to give my body a chance to heal.
