I went to the gym in spite of it being under ten degrees below zero. It takes more than 40 minutes on foot but I cheered me up to the gym. Actually, I didn't feel so cold in that temperature. This time, I came to realize that my private sensible temperature and the real temperature are different. Indeed, I feel much colder at times when I get up in the morning in Kyoto than then. (Needless to say, it's much colder than Kyoto here in the morning.) Probably, it's because I heard from Madam it was vere very cold outside today so I braced myself for the coldness. But, gradually I began to realize what real coldness is. I didn't feel so cold but my sense did. What I mean is, my cheeks and earlobes were like touching ice all the time. And what was worse, the wind began to blow intensely so I was close to going numb in my cheeks and earlobes. On the way, I became afraid I would get chilblains, but fortunately it began to go better when I walked into a store near the gym. I looked around the store while recovering from the coldness, then I left for the gym and finally reached it. Luckily, on the way home it wasn't so cold and the wind became gentle. Today, going to the gym was so hard but I was satisfied with a sense of refreshment coming from the accomplishment. Overall, today was a nice day. |
