It has been thirteen years and fifty-four days in a
row since I got rid of a bad habit of smoking.
I decreased the number of push-ups by seven times
due mainly to the fatigue from the long-distance
walking to 15 times, and was able to keep at least
10-time push-ups for the one hundred and fifty-eighth
straight day.

It has been overcast in Nagoya since early this
morning and I feel much colder than yesterday although
the temperature at 9 a.m. was 5.8 degrees, up 1.6
degrees from the same time yesterday.
I guess this is because clouds are blocking sunlight.
The day before yesterday, I walked for a total of over
4 hours from Subway Iwatsuka Station in Nagoya to
JR Kuwana Station in Mie prefecture, which gave me
a sense of fulfillment.
Anyway, I think I need to give my body a chance to heal.

Thirteen years and fifty-one days in a row have passed
since I broke my smoking habit.
I was able to keep 22-time push-ups for the third
consecutive day and over 9-time push-ups for the one
hundred and fifty-fifth successive day.

It is very beautifully sunny in Nagoya today with some
clouds in the eastern and northern skies.
However, actually, I feel that it is much colder than
yesterday, and it is no wonder because the temperature
at 10 a.m. was 4.8 degrees, down 3 degrees from the
same time yesterday.
To my surprise, in the cold, I saw cherry blossoms in
full bloom in someone's garden the other day while I
was enjoying a walking in an unfamiliar town.
Was that an illusion or something?

I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking
for thirteen years and fifty days in a row,
I was able to keep more than 9-time push-ups for
the one hundred and fifty-fourth straight day
including the most recent two days of 22-time push-
ups.

Today again, it is normally sunny with some clouds
in the blue sky in Nagoya.
The current temperature is about 5.4 degrees, up
more than 3 degrees from the same time yesterday.
I know well that this winter cold is much milder
than usuall, but even so, I cannot wait for spring
warmth to come here.
Anyway, I felt a little happy when I noticed that
the chill of the north wind was mild on my way to
the workplace while I was riding my bike.

I have been able to do without smoking for thirteen
years and forty-nine days in a row.
I was able to increase the number of push-ups by
just one time to 22 times and kept greater than
9-time push-ups for the one hundred and fifty-
third successive day.

Completely unlike the past two snowy days in Nagoya,
it is normally sunny today.
Although there are some clouds in the blue sky, I
can enjoy plenty of sunlight.
It is now very cold but I have felt a little relieved
to read the weather information on the Internet that
the highest temperatures in Nagoya will top 10 degrees
for the next one week,
I really hope that this year's spring warmth will
come sooner than usual.
