How to count how far I swim, and recent rain tendency of "It rains withour pouring"
It was Saturday today.
In the morning I visited a mental clinic. There were so many visitors and I arrived so late that I had to wait about an hour.
These days, swimming around 4-5 pm is a regular schedule for Saturday, but today at 3 pm I felt so sleepy and so weary that I hesitated to go to swim, but finally I decided to go. I walked from home 2.8 kilometers to a pool run by public. When I left I was warned that the forecast told that it would rain around 5 pm. It was fine weather then, and I couldn't imagine this very well, but I took a compact umbrella with me anyway. It was kind of sunny, but the edge of cloud seemed really sharp.
I had planned to swim 1 kilometer. Today I also had planned how I count how far I swim. Usually I count by how many times I swim a 25-meter lane. This worked pretty well, but sometimes I forget how many and sometimes I count double, which make it difficult to know the pace.
Today, however, I decided to count strokes instead, not trying to calculate distance.
I usually walk 25 meter in approximately 20 strokes, so if I count 800 strokes, it's likely to be equal to 1000 meter. This worked really well. I never forgot count, although I adjusted some strokes to make 20 strokes for 25 meters. I swam 1000 meters in 26 minutes, with a heart rate 120 per minute.
During the swimming, I heard and saw it poured outside. It was around 4:30 pm. When I left the pool, the rain became much weaker, and I was comfortable with the compact umbrella I had taken with me. I could use the city bus to go home, but I walked home. By the time I arrived home the rain had stopped.
I recalled the saying "It never rains without pouring."
This saying well explains the recent tendency of rain in Japan.
In the end of August, Hiroshima had disastrous rains which killed more than 50 people.
Although it was much less serious, it poured in our area.
The last half of this week also, we had heavy rain pours in many area of Japan, Sapporo and many other areas in Hokkaido, Kyoto, the east area of Miyagi, and also in Sendai. It is fortunate that this time I haven't heard somebody died in these heavy rains, but I'm sorry for many thousand people are forced to evacuate, and some houses were destroyed in the disaster.
