    Is this video directed at me? I feel like you've been watching me!

    Thank you Kyonin,

    If I'm already enlightened why the hell is this so hard?

              Wow this is exactly what I needed to hear in this moment. Synchronistic. Good to see your wonderful face again.

                      Hi guys,

                      I'm glad you are finding the little talk useful.

                      Some things come to mind now that a couple of days have passed.

                      First of all, by no means I intended to brag about me being a runner. As a matter of fact there is nothing to brag about since I'm slower and lazier than you could ever imagine. It's just that I run because I have no where to get to. All I want is to leave obesity behind. But I see a lot of parallels between running and every hard task I have ever done. I just go about one day at a time, and mainly with no plan at all. Which is pretty dumb, I know.

                      Second, please forgive my English. I know I sounded like the Taco Bell Chihuahua, but I got a cold start recording the video. Next time I promise I'll warm up a little before.

                      We are at the half of Ango. Lets do this one step at a time

                      Gassho,

                        Kyonin, to reassure you, you were not bragging at all, your analogy in regards to running was very helpful. Also, your English was just fine. I personally love hearing people talk with different accents.

                        Gassho,
                        Joyo

                          Paz Kyonin, tranquilo, sin pasion se corre mas lejos.
                          Tu Ingles esta muy bien, tu compasion se manifiesta claramente.
                          Gracias, gassho.

                                Hey Kyonin, your talk was totally fine, including your English. I find running a good example of getting off the sofa, and you are an inspiration in how you changed your habits and got into shape. It can be translated to many other things that are hard, as you say.
                                But your math is off - 25 days is not half of 90. Way to go!

                                Gassho,
