Mr. Yeong texted me messages this morning when I was on the way to office, saying he has kept jogging for two days and now feels sore in legs. I replied him it is a good sign that he would be healthier by jogging around after supper everyday on the condition that the weather is permitted.
We usually stroll around after lunch during which he is instilled with my concept about the importance of fitness exercise. Now he realizes the good from jogging. Though there is a little sore and uncomfortable when he is doing that, gradually he senses more appetitive and nimble.
Before going to run, he rarely goes out after he finishes meal in night. He’d rather liking sitting around and watching tv and then going to bed. Every night the diet he has is extremely treated as a banquet. He has good stomach to stuff all of the palatable food and believes life should be like that and vows never should be in starvation. Thus he always thinks the food at home is more terrific than it is in the canteen. Right, home is the best.
Recently he hunches the joints over the body are not so functional, whatever from the neck to the legs, all of them seem to be rusted. Without a doubt, if one keeps staring at the screen in a long time with a fixed position, surely there would be soreness around neck, back and related joints. Meanwhile, eyesight meets problems too.
After my explanation, he dumped the bicycling which he started few weeks ago, and goes for jogging. Since it is an exercise wholly extents body to be more brisk in flexibility and does not hurt seriously on knees, especially for him, a very vigorous mid aged man.
He confessed that he wanted to do some exercises. It turns out to be hard to find a partner. More or less, it could be boring with no one else. Either his wife or son and daughter would not want to go with him, they all deem that he walks so fast that they cannot follow him and finally it ends up by quarreling and complaining to each other. Therefore his wife walks to some of her friends, and the kids choose to do whatever they want.
“My son and daughter were so nice at their young age and followed me to anywhere I took them to play. Now my daughter is going to graduate from college and my son soon will go to the college. They never want to walk to me anymore,” he said to me with happy smile though with little bit pity. “Hey, they are grownup and you are living a nice life. If they do not go with you, you just do by yourself,” I responded him.
He now tries getting used to the jogging lifestyle alone without any companion. Whenever he talks of his family, he is always with a big sweet smile face.
