First exercise jogging in this year

I jogged after supper. This was the first exercise jogging in this year. I made a effort to keep my pace low, considering the quality of sleep after that. I often jog when I start for work from home to station, 630 meters. In the beginning of February there was much snow left near the station, which made the road slippery, but now in the end of month, snow has disappeared on the road. Yesterday I saw snow left in the shade of the shed of the church. Having skied on last Saturday, I was a bit heavy, the slope on the way of jogging which I usually regard as trivial was felt substantial uphill.

A foreigner spoke Japanese better than I on a bus yesterday

On Saturday yesterday it was on the bus from skiing. The bus was crowded with passengers with skiers and snowboards. Among them was several foreigners. They also seemed to have enjoyed snowboarding. It was public transport, so sometimes a few people got on on the way. After a while I dozed off. When I woke up I saw an elderly lady were standing besides my seat. It was time to give up my seat for her. All I could was I saw the lady and gesture that I was ready to stand up. It looked like that she didn't understand my intention. I was too shy to speak out. Then one of the foreigner spoke to the lady in Japanese and gave up his seat to her. I thought, he spoke Japanese better than I could. Sometimes communication difficulty prevent me from giving up my seat.

My browser preference - Posting something on Facebook has reminded me

Now I'm editing videos of today's ski practice. I'm going to upload and post a comment on Facebook, but the browser I mainly use has some problem with entering text on Facebook, so I'm launching Chrome in addition to my main browser. But why do I continue to use this browser? I think it is because it's Firefox compatible and said to run faster than Firefox, and I'm used to Firefox user interface and add-ons rather than those of chrome, except for Chrome's debug mode. Chrome's debug mode is really useful to lean a lot about web coding through famous Web site.

The busiest time in this year

The busiest time in the year. My state mind is not bad, but a bit tired and easier to get irritated. Mood in my work place is good. With this my state of mind has gotten much better although in the beginning of year I was deeply depressed. I was so depressed that I didn't feel like skiing then. The workload is even a bit heavier than usual years of this time but the good mood in the workplace help us a lot.

My second skiing (20 years ago), with my own boots and wear

My second skiing was with my own boots and skiwear. Skis were my brother's, just like my first skiing. Before I went to the second skiing in my life, I went to sports shop to ski boots and a skiwear. My first choice of boots was terrible. I didn't have the idea of what ski boots fit me well is like, and I chose the size of 28 cm, 2 cm larger than what I have now. I took the advice from my brother that if I felt pain somewhere in my feet while fitting, it didn't fit me well, but any boots of the size 27 cm, which was the size of my shoes, gave me pain so I thought that 28 cm was the suitable size. It was too big for me considering the size I wear now, but as long as I was a beginner, it wasn't a big problem. It at least held me so that I was able to feel that I was putting on my weight. In my second skiing, I went to the same mountain as I went to in my first time, I rode on a gondola a few times. It was 5 times as long as the lift I rode in my first skiing. The cou...

"Skiing was fun when I was just a beginner." (1) My first day of skiing

"Skiing was fun when I was just a beginner." In the morning just after I entered the office building, I thought to myself. I began skiing 20 years ago when I go to university in Hokkaido. The first skiing was not Hokkaido but Iwate, although Hokkaido has a lot of famous skiing areas. My brother took me my first skiing. It was January 2. At first I didn't feel like skiing and I missed the TV broadcast of Hakone Ekiden. My brother had skis and skiwear for me, so I rented only a pair of ski boots. The size of boots was 28 cm. I selected much bigger size than suitable because I felt smaller size too tight for me. Now my boots size was 26 cm. First I learned how to wear skis. Dealing with bindings wasn't easy at first. It was especially hard to wear skies if snow stuck on the ski boots. Then I learned to how to walk with my skis on, on a flat ground, how to fall safely, and how to stand up sometimes coping with intertwined skis. On the first day even the small...

The wristband of my watch is being worn out

The wristband of my watch is being worn out. I have used my watch for 8 years. Searching on the Internet, spare band is available, and furthermore, I have found that a watch of the same model as mine is on auction, so I bid for it. Now the price of the watch is cheaper than the spare belt, but even if I bid it successfully and watch arrive, I'm not certain of the condition of the band of the watch, so after all I'm also going to get spare belt for the watch.
