Today was a usual day, I think, after doing household chores at night. But this late early-evening, I got registered mail from a postman at home unexpectedly. Inside were two pieces of gift certificate priced at 2,000 yen.

Sending for me was a local paper company which publishes booklets for mothers and other people, and a newspaper about local information such as restaurants and so on.

I had sent a postcard for the prize long time ago. So this happy news came to me when I least expected.

This certificate displayed on the picture is what can be used only in my city, but there are many places available. I was thinking about where to consume during last dinner.

I'd like to use them in a public bath, because that's the place where my family can go but not so often. It'll be some luxury. We call it "Petti Zeitaku (small luxury)" in Japan.

<Running and Jogging>

By the way, about my jogging and swimming life these days. I have kept them on a daily basis. As for running, we have had more rainy days than in summer, so I have fewer times to run, a little bit sad. I swam today, and I ran yesterday about five kilometers, which is a longer distance than usual.
