I have been able to do without smoking for nine years and three
hundred and thirty-five days in a row.
I was able to keep 22-time push-ups for the third successive day
and over 9-time push-ups for the three hundred and nineteenth
straight day.

It was sunny in Nagoya while I was riding my bike on my way to
the workplace, but actually it is pretty cloudy and it is dark.
I need much more sunlight though I do not feel it is so cold.
According to news reports, it is highly likely that Mr. Biden
will be elected the next president of USA.
I am interested in Mr. Biden's policy toward China and global
warming.....and of course Japan.

I have been able to keep smoke-free for nine years and three hundred
and thirty-four days in a row.
I was able to keep more than 9-time push-ups for the three hundred
and eighteenth consecutive day including the most recent two days of
22-time push-ups.

It has been quite cloudy in Nagoya since early this morning and it
is actually dark with thick rainy clouds and it looks like it is
going to start raining pretty soon.
Although the highest temperature is forecasted to be 16 degrees
and actually now it is 15.6 degrees, I feel it is cold maybe because
of lack of sunlight.
Anyway, perhaps I should eat something hot.

I have been able to be a non-smoker for nine years and three hundred
and thirty-two days in a row.
I dereased the number of push-ups yesterday by two times from the
previous day to 21 times, and kept greater than 9-time push-ups for
the three hundred and sixteenth straight day.

It is greatly sunny in Nagoya but actually this morning was the
coldest morning in this early winter season with the lowest
temperature of 6.2 degrees.
I know that our fingers start getting numb at 7 degrees.
Judging from this, this morning was surely cold and I will have to
be very careful not to catch a cold.
