■I ran this morning. During yesterday’s lunch break, I replaced the curtain I bought with Sun on Tuesday’s holiday. More than 30 years have passed since my house was built. It is a remodeling in a room where the curtains have not been changed since then, such as the children’s room on the 3rd floor. As a result, it was reborn as a different room.
■ As usual this morning, I woke up at 4:30 and wanted to get up smoothly, but I was still tired of running a little less than 15 kilometers two days ago. It took me a while to get up.
I ran 54 minutes and 34 seconds this morning and piled up 8.41 kilometers. Up to 100km a month, I reached 13.96km with 3 days left. There is no choice but to do something to achieve the goal. It will be rainy weather forecast tomorrow, so I have no choice but to run the distance left on Saturday and Sunday.
準備運動の後、4時55分から走り始め、今日は1時間36分4秒走り続け、14.41 km を積み重ねました。これで今月は7回のランで77.62 km を走り、月100 km 走までは残り5日で 22.37 Km のところまで来ました 。あと5日残っているとはいっても、28日は予定が入っていますので、実質4日しかありません。4日で22 km 超を走るためには、現実的には2日に分けて11キロずつ走るのが、最も実現可能性が高いと思います。幸い天気予報では、早朝に雨が降ることはなさそうですので、とにかく体調を整えて、最後まで目標達成に向けて努力するしかありません。
■I ran this morning. It rained all morning yesterday and stopped in the evening, but strong winds blew up due to the development of low pressure. I thought it would be calm this morning, so I woke up at 4:30 as usual.
When I woke up, I was struck by the sound of the wind roaring outside the window, but I couldn’t reach my goal unless I ran today, so I changed my clothes and left the door. I put a bag of kitchen waste in the collection point and started after the preparatory movement.
I passed in front of my friend’s house, confirmed that the lights were on, and headed to the schoolyard of the elementary school.
I ran 9.87 km in 1 hour and 25 seconds this morning, piled up 51.45 km in 5 runs this month, and reached 48.54 km with 12 days left until I ran 100 km a month.
Anyway, the wind was strong, and even if I was running in the schoolyard, I was running in total darkness, so I was off course due to the strong wind without knowing it, and I knew where I was running for a moment. It was easy when there was a tailwind, but when I was running toward the southwest wind, it was difficult to move forward.
Still, I was relieved to finish running safely. There is no choice but to stack up.
■ The tablet iPlay40 that arrived at my house the other day is useful, but yesterday the Gmail app suddenly stopped working. In other words, I can no longer check Google mail.
However, there are loopholes. You can check Gmail from the browser Chrome, so you can process it from there, but it is troublesome because it takes a lot of work.
I don’t know why the Gmail app suddenly stopped launching on iPlay40. No doubt he’s not affected by his American sanctions on Huawei.
The problem may be resolved over time. There is no choice but to wait patiently.
■I got up at 4 o’clock this morning and ran. The alarm clock was set at 4:30, but I woke up earlier than that. If you fall asleep again here, it will be very hard to get up this time.
I was tired yesterday, so I went to bed at 9 o’clock last night and took a rest early. Thanks to that, I think I was able to get up smoothly this morning. Today I ran 10.74 km in 1 hour 9 minutes 41 seconds.
This month I piled up 41.58 km in four runs, leaving 58.41 km with 16 days left to run 100 km a month.
I used Runkeeper on my smartphone to keep a record today. You will be notified every time you run 1 km, so you can keep track of the progress of your run and you can run with great peace of mind.
It’s a little short of the goal line on the 12th day, but I want to achieve a whopping 100km a month in February, which is 3 days less than usual.
I was running this morning and was able to run smoothly and lightly for the first 5 km, but after that I felt a little discomfort in my right knee, but I managed to run to the end safely.
■ On the front page of the Tokyo Shimbun this morning, there is a statement, “To resign as chairman of the Mori Organizing Committee, to take responsibility for women’s disdain, and to succeed Kawabuchi at the Tokyo Olympics and Para.”
The impression is that it’s finally over, and in a Japanese organization, the organization wouldn’t turn around without someone like Yoshiro Mori. After all, it’s a proof that the Tokyo Olympics have become virtually difficult to hold.
If it could really be held, Mr. Mori must have continued to serve as chairman. Will the Tokyo Olympics be held? The conclusion must come out not so long. Time and money are limited.
I ran this morning. It’s been 4 days since last Friday, 5th. I ran 8.90 km, and this month I’ve piled up 30.84 km in three runs, leaving 69.15 km with 19 days left to run 100 km a month. As of the 9th, it is almost the target line.
I used runkeeper as a running app this morning. This is because voice guidance is available. It will give me voice guidance every 10 minutes and every 1 km so that I can check the pace while running and easily consider how much more I should run to reach my goal.
I felt that the time was very long while I was running, probably because I was tired today. As usual, I passed in front of my friend’s house, checked the lights, and then headed to the schoolyard. I set the timer to 35 minutes this morning. Judging from my physical condition, I set it to a reasonable level.
■ By the way, a special article entitled “How to treat yourself” was published in the Tokyo Shimbun.
“No matter how brilliant the talent or the person who has to be a company, we cannot escape the weakening of the mind and body. Whether to continue fighting or to withdraw gracefully. Each person has 100 years of life. Now that life planning is being questioned in the times, think about how to treat yourself. “
One of the people mentioned is Mr. Teruzo Ina, the former president of INAX (currently LIXIL). Born as a child of the founder, at the age of 42 he naturally became president of a company with more than 3,000 employees. He served as president for 16 years, and at the age of 58, he took over the president to an unrelated employee.
When asked why he quit early, he replied that he began to realize that there was a limit to the way one person could think if he continued for a long time.
Ina decided to quit the president at the age of 60, quit all industry and regional positions by the age of 70, and spend the rest of his life as an individual with no organizational benefits or restrictions. Ina wanted to maintain a connection with society even if he had no title.
At the age of 70, he resigned as chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and at the same time resigned from all public offices, but two years before that, when the Chubu International Airport opened in his hometown, he decided to work as a guide volunteer.
Finally, Mr. Ina says: “Even if I don’t belong to an organization, I think there are many ways to continue to be involved with society as an individual according to their age, ability, physical strength, etc., as a person in this era. Regarding the connection with society, I want to be “active throughout my life.”
It should not be as easy as it sounds for someone like Ina, who has been active as the top of the organization for many years, to work with men and women of all ages in the same position as a complete volunteer. I think many people will hit a mental wall such as pride and retreat. This is because they cannot stand an equal position, which is different from before.
I felt that there was a lot to learn from Mr. Ina, who has lived a life of unity.
友人の家に立ち寄り電気が点いているのを確認し、小学校の校庭に向かいました。そして校庭に到着後は、スマホのタイマーを45分に設定し再スタートしたのです。 今朝は12.16 km 走り、これで今月は2回のランで21.94 km を積み重ねました。 残り26日で月100 km 走達成までは78.06 km 残っています。
■I ran this morning. I was planning to run with my alarm clock at 4:30 as usual, but I woke up 30 minutes before that. If I fall asleep again here, it will be very difficult to get up this time, so I changed my clothes as it was, carried the kitchen waste to the designated position, and started running after the preparatory exercise.
I didn’t take melatonin last night and took a rest with Lendormin as usual. Waking up this morning was comfortable.
I stopped by my friend’s house to see that the electricity was on and headed to the playground of the elementary school. After arriving at the schoolyard, I set the smartphone timer to 45 minutes and restarted. I ran 12.16 km this morning, and this month I’ve piled up 21.94 km in two runs. With 26 days left, 78.06 km remains until 100 km per month is achieved.
I bought a running watch in July 2012 and started to set a record. And since November 2014, I have been keeping records with Epson’s running watch. I’ve been recording the same model for over 6 years, and the other day I learned something amazing. Epson has withdrawn from the running watch market.
Epson will no longer launch a new running watch. All parts will be discontinued, so don’t use them anymore. It’s a shame.
With the spread of smartphones, running apps are now available for free. You don’t have to buy a running watch in most cases. The need to buy a dedicated running watch that costs more than 30,000 yen has diminished. The smartphone has GPS. There is no shortage of records.
Now, running shop coaches even keep records with his running app on their smartphones when they run with their students. So, from today, I decided to continue recording my running with TATTA, an app provided by his RUNNET. It measures time, mileage, pace, number of steps, calories burned, etc. It also displays the course you ran on a Google map.
■ Yesterday, the first spring was observed in the Kanto region. It seems to be the fastest in the history of observation. Even if you feel it, it gets warmer day by day and you can feel the arrival of spring.
■I ran this morning. As usual, I woke up with an alarm clock set at 4:30, put the vinyl trash in place in front of the park, and then started after the preparatory exercise. It’s been 4 days since I ran on January 30th.
Perhaps because I had enough rest, I was able to run smoothly and without feeling too much pain today. In the first run of the month I was able to stack 9.78 km. There are 25 days left to run 100 km a month, 90.21 km.
■ By the way, it is written on the front page of the Tokyo Shimbun this morning that the emergency situation will be extended by one month. The extensions are the four prefectures of Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa. Osaka, Kyoto, and Hyogo’s three Kansai prefectures. Aichi, Gifu’s Tokai 2 prefectures and Fukuoka prefecture.
It has been decided that these 10 prefectures will extend the state of emergency for a month. It is quite difficult to move across prefectures.
Also, when I looked it up, there are very few restaurants in Numazu that are open after 9 pm. I didn’t go out most of the night, so I didn’t have any problems, but for some reason I tried to make a reservation for dinner, but I couldn’t find a place after 9 pm. .. It may be possible if you ask personally, but even if you have a dinner with two people, it seems difficult at present.
I think it’s really hard for people involved in restaurants. Anyway, after the shop survives and the coronavirus is over, I hope that the situation where everyone can enjoy eating together will return to what it used to be.
■ There is a “Big Wave and Small Wave” column in the Culture section on page 6 of the Tokyo Shimbun this morning. The title this morning is “nuisance”.
-It is written that it is okay to bother you.
These are the words on the cover of the February / March issue of “Lifestyle Notebook”. There was a woman in her thirties in Tokyo who died during her home recuperation after being infected with the new coronavirus. The reporter wrote that she would have been nice if she had seen this cover.
She seems to have committed suicide and she seems to have left a note to her effect, such as “I’m sorry for the inconvenience.” No matter how careful you are, you may get infected or you may infect others. It can’t be helped, each other. “It’s okay to bother you.” The author writes that this is not limited to infectious diseases.
Finally, the reporter quotes the words from the philosopher Kiyokazu Washida’s “Tsukafu Usage Theory Note”.
“It’s normal for people to bother each other, and I should say thank you to those who haven’t escaped from the relationship of causing trouble …”.
No one wants to bother others. However, if it is life that involves people, it is very difficult to live without bothering and inconvenience. In the epidemic of the coronavirus, I am reminded that life is the life of being involved.
