I woke up a little early this morning to make lunch for my elder son, who was competing in a track and field meet in our district.
I forgot to take a picture of the lunch, but I think the tamagoyaki turned out okay😉
My second son has finally recovered from his pneumonia and is now able to go to daycare, but perhaps because he was absent for almost two weeks and stayed home all the time, he lost his physical strength. At the swimming lesson he went last weekend, he could not swim even 10 meters and could not move forward at all no matter how much he moved his arms and legs... It will take some time for his physical strength to return.
And I, who had been mostly cooped up with my second son except for part-time work for the past two weeks, also noticed that I had lost a lot of energy. The air was nice and cool this morning, so I decided to walk a little farther than usual, but my legs ... my legs felt tired!
I kind of felt like I hadn't used them properly for a long time. Now that it is a good season for walking, I would like to walk a lot.
As I passed by the shrine, I could smell my favorite fragrance of the season... the soft scent of fragrant olive. Why do fragrant olive smell so good?
I was lured into the shrine by the fragrant olive, and the hand-watering basin, which had been closed when COVID-19 was prevalent, was once again filled with water and ready for use. I was a little happy to see that.
This is a row of gingko trees I passed on my way home. It looks like it will be a little while before the leaves turn yellow. I would like to come back to take pictures when the leaves have completely changed color.
I walked about 6,400 steps today, but this was still pretty tiring 😅 what a lack of stamina! ... and I regret it. Now that we have entered the season where heat is no longer an excuse, I am going to have to resume my training little by little.

長男が地区の陸上大会出場のため、今朝は少し早く起きてお弁当を作りました。
お弁当の写真は撮り忘れてしまったのですが、卵焼きはまあまあ上手く焼けたと思います。
次男は肺炎からようやく回復し、保育園に行けるようになりました。2週間近くお休みしてずっと家にいたためでしょうか、体力が落ちてしまい、先週末に行ったスイミングでは10メートルも泳げず、バタ足をしても全然前に進まず… 体力が戻るのにはまだ少し時間が掛かりそうです。
そして！この2週間パート以外は次男と一緒にほぼ引きこもっていた私も、かなり体力が落ちてしまっていることに気がつきました。今朝は空気がひんやりとしていて気持ちよかったので、いつもより少し遠くまで歩いてみることにしたのですが、 脚が・・・脚がだるい！
なんというか、長い間ちゃんと使っていなかったんだなぁという感じでした。ウォーキングにはいい季節になったので、たくさん歩きたいと思います。
神社の脇を通りかかると、この季節、大好きな香り… 金木犀の香りが、ふんわりと漂ってきました。金木犀って、どうしてあんなにいい匂いがするんでしょうね？
金木犀につられて神社の中へ。コロナ時期は閉鎖されていた手水舎も、再び水が入って使えるようになっていました。ちょっとうれしかったです。
帰り道に通った銀杏並木。葉が黄色に色づくのは、まだ少し先みたいですね。また葉の色が完全に変わった頃、写真を撮りに来たいと思います。
今日は6,400歩ほどのウォーキングでしたが、これでも結構疲れてしまいました😅なんという体力のなさ！… と反省です。暑さを言い訳にはできない季節に突入したので、少しずつトレーニングを再開せねばと思っています。
