I'm wondering if I should start to introduce the multitude of snacks here in Japan that work together to keep my weight higher than it should be. ha!
There are so many nice things here. I really need to practice some self control, but boy, it's not easy.

It's finally getting cooler and as such, I'm starting to feel a lot better when I go out exercising. Actually, I'm feeling better in general. I know, I've said it many times. Summer is not my time.
Anyhow, I decided to head south over the weekend and wow, do we have some beautiful scenery here in Tokushima.
I recommend if you wish to go, go local. It's much easier and just as beautiful. Go outside and enjoy this amazing season.

As part of my hobby, I do get to see a lot more of Tokushima than most. Anan, given it's recent increase in size, has some really amazing places.

This is Gamoda No Misaki and I highly recommend going. It's the most eastern point of Shikoku island and not too far from the center of Anan city.

I haven't been able to exercise for the last few days. It's really been affecting my mood.
Today I had the chance to ride again. It's amazing how much the endorphins make you feel so much better. But, I have a feeling I'm probably addicted to exercise at this stage, and that this feeling or euphoria is possibly over pronounced?
You can't have too much of a good thing, can you?

Have a great day.

I believe I have been suffering from　Summer Heat Fatigue this week. The term 夏バテ is so much easier to use. I can't concentrate for more than a few minutes at a time. I just don't want to go outside for anything. I've driven more than I've ridden this week, which is a very strange thing for me.
I've been well hydrated as that is something I'm super careful with, but I'm still not great.
Please take care. This year has been something else. I missed the summer last year through unfortunate circumstances, so I'm probably feeling it more than i should. but it's still very, very unusual.
