Personal:

Attended Japanese high school and finished in March 2020. Was very lucky to be able to be a member of a very good team of runners at my high school, even though I was injured most of the time and was not able to be much of a contributor. Am currently doing an Engineering internship at a large manufacturer of Automotive transmissions, etc. It is really exciting. In spring of 2021, if COVID-19 has subsided, I am planning to serve an LDS mission, after which I plan to go to college and study Engineering.

Last week I tried running a mile without stopping. I failed last week in my attempt and was only able to do 3 laps of the track before I had to stop.

I rested most of last week and decided to take on that challenge again today.

Today, to my surprise, I was feeling much better as I ran and, even though difficult, I was able to complete a mile without stopping. I then walked for a mile and tried running a mile again, and was also able to finish that mile without stopping.

Today was a very encouraging day for me.

I was able to accomplish my goal of running one mile, not only once, but twice.

PS: I heard recently about a training method called MAF. I have been interested in starting it.

If anyone has ever tried it, or has any tips regarding it, I would love to hear about it.

MAF training is the idea that you get fast by running slow.

Glad you're feeling better!

Thanks Mr. Murphy. I think I am going to try that kind of training for awhile, since VERY SLOW is about as much as I can handle right now.
