HNT Chapter 3

I am a teacher. I teach English. I walk to university every day, because I’m training to walk in Japan.
 
Today, two weeks before I fly to Japan, I had to walk to the language school two times. I had forgotten my teaching notes. I didn’t mind, because I like to walk.
 
Walking is natural. It’s easy and simple to walk. It’s good for our bodies. It’s good for me.
 
But now I am planning to walk a long way. Japan is 3000km from south to north. That’s far. Of course, I need to train. I need to practice. I need to get ready. How am I doing that?
 
I just walk every day. I walk to work in the morning, and in the afternoon I walk home. Sometimes I run, but not often. My body is fit enough. I have walked and run for many years. I think it’s more important to train my mind. And my mind is fit too. The last three summers, I walked for many weeks in New Zealand.
 
In Japan, I will begin by walking slowly. Slowly, I will grow fitter. I will lose some weight. Later, I will run a little. That’s my plan. It’s a simple plan, but I think it will work. We’ll see.
