I reached a milestone today! 1000 activities tracked with @runkeeper since June 2010. The mileage is tiny but that’s about 1 activity every 2.92 days if I did not mistake. For real, most of the activities were done between April and November of each year. Because I am a bear I guess. 🐻

Unrelated to this picture I got a good news today, my application to Long Term Resident visa has been accepted. This is quite an unusual visa that few people receive I think (I had to write a motivation letter to explain why I wanted to stay). It is not the permanent visa unfortunately but I am happy to get it. That’s what you can have when you are self-employed and divorced with no relatives in Japan. It’s only a 3 years one also despite being in my 12th year here, but that’s ok, there won’t be issue to renew it anyway. (Yes I should have applied way before to the permanent one but I did not)

Rainy season has already been here for a week or so now. When you are in the water it does not count though :-) I went for an open water swim training. 3 times to the buoy and back (thankfully) for a total of about 1500m. Good one. I surprised a couple walking on the (deserted) beach when getting out of water, they were a bit like, wtf ^_^;
