Last week I began jogging. I run every day.
In this 7 days jogging, I got these four.
(1)Beautiful views
I began jogging because I found a site what introduced some jogging course near my apartment.
The first day was a beautiful day.
My camera is not so small and hard to bring with. But I see lots of beautiful scenes and want to show them to my boyfriend and you all, so I give up bringing drink with me and bring only my camera and cell phone (* v *)!!!!
This is a picture of the second day. I'm happy because I can run variety of courses by Yokohama Bay.
I also enjoy colored leaves too.
Today I could run 40 minutes without a break(At the first day I could run only 3-5 minutes), it's my best for these 7 days. I ran (and walk) for an hour or more every day.
(2)I met persons and cute animals
In these seven days, I exchanged greetings with some joggers. I greeted as if I'm not a beginner(* v *).
And also, I met some cute animals.
In the morning, I could meet some cats.
And lots of bird.
I also met Bo-chan in a fine day.
(3)Some events
In a week, I met two events.
The one is a training of the police.
I've never seen such an event and some people enjoyed seeing it. They supposed shooting incident, terrorist bombs or demonstrators and trained how to deal with them.
And in other day, there is an open day of Japan Coast Guard and I could see the inside of this ship. So this day I could run only 30 minutes totally...
(4)Health
I didn't lose my weight yet, but my waist lose 2cm in this week. And also, I can sleep quite well(maybe too much).
I began running and exercise in my room 5 months before, and my body slimmed down a little. But I couldn't loose my weight at all. So I began this jogging. I hope I could continue it for long for my health.
I can enjoy jogging because of the place where I run. Every day, before I go for a jogging I check where I want to run. I'm happy to live here (* v *)!!!!
But there is a problem also. Because of the jogging, I'm sleepy every day and I cannot sew a lot these days... Maybe after two or three weeks I get used to it and I can sew more...
hola... me encanta visitarte, aunque no se inglés algo entiendo pero disfruto de tus creaciones y lindas fotografias.

As you begin exercising, you gain muscle and lose fat - as the muscle weighs more than fat, many people don't lose weight, but rather, lose inches from their body. You're on the right track! :) I'm impressed you can run so far after only one week.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy reading your posts to see a small piece of life in Japan, and your beautiful handiwork. Thank you for sharing!
all the best with ur new exercise regime. Do keep it going. I have been runnign for about 6 months and doing strngth trainign for about a year so a total of year and a half. the outside appearance take a long time to change but the simple benefits to mind and body are immediate. take care and keep it up. I am aure u will be able to get back to sewing soon.

Good job with your running! That is surely the softest dog I've ever seen. And the cat that's about to plop over into the water is funny!
ReplyDeleteHello Mai:
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are enjoying running.
Please, for your health and for your knees, do NOT run for 7 days in a row. You must REST for 1 day every week. :)
