I Tried Incorporating a 50-Meter Run into My Morning Walk!

Episode 44
Hello, it's Ao😄

Since starting in August, I have now (almost) every morning made it a habit toincorporate [running] into my morning walk.

It's not a typo.
It's not 500 meters.
50 meters is correct.

You might be thinking, does that even mean anything?
But it means a great deal!

First of all, I don't like moving my body.
When I was in high school, my motto was: I'd rather be late than run! (This is for real)

Once I started working for a company, being late was obviously a problem, so you probably thought I started running, right?

Instead, I leave the house early and get to work with time to spare.
I'd rather wake up early than run!
That's how I handle it.

Avoid things you dislike by using a different method.
In a sense, you could say I'm quick-witted (lol)

Because when you run, your heart pounds and it's painful, isn't it?
I don't like pain.
Isn't that a normal feeling?
That's why I hate running.

That I am (almost) every morning walking as a morning activity!
This is a huge deal.

To use an analogy, it's like creating something from nothing.
(I don't really know what I'm saying either)

That I am (almost) every day running 50 meters!
It's an insanely huge deal.

Captain Armstrong said it too, right?
"It may be a small 50 meters for mankind, but it is a giant 50 meters for me."
(I have absolutely no idea what I'm saying)

Well, jokes aside,
it's only 50 meters, but I've incorporated running.

I run home once I turn the last corner of my walking route.
First, I'll make this a habit.

Once I can do that naturally, I'll increase the distance by one street lamp.
Once I can do that too, I'll increase the distance again.
That's how I intend to gradually increase the distance I run.

I don't know how much I'll be able to increase the distance, but rather than not doing it at all, I'll run whatever distance I can.

Since I've managed to make the morning walk a habit, I'll aim to make running a habit too.

To make something a habit, lower the hurdle as much as possible!

Yeah, but you know, when I actually tried running,
with every step, my hips! my knees! my soles!
felt more impact than I expected...
my body weight was bearing down...
I got worried that I might physically break my body.

It was far from a light trot.
Even if it wasn't quite a heavy thud, thud,
it felt more like... thud... thud... thud... thud...
Does that make sense?

If you don't hear me talk about running in the future...

Please understand what that means (lol)

This time,
to put it clearly, I have no confidence!
was the topic.

See you later!
It was Ao😅
