日中の日差しが殺人的なシンガポールでは、早朝に運動する人が多いというのは聞いたことがあります。とはいえ、朝は一生寝ていたい、運動もできればしたくない、というわたしには縁のない世界と思っていました。
しかし、なぜ急に思い立ったのか謎ですが、夫が朝の散歩を始めたのでついて行ってみることに。
初日は7：00に家を出発して30分程度、ケッペル島の端でUターンして帰ってくる、というコース。
平日の朝なのに散歩・ジョギングしている人の多さに驚きました。あと、わんちゃんのお散歩している人も。
昼間に比べて、朝は日差しがずいぶんましなので、ただただ気持ちが良かったです。普段見る景色も、より一層外国感が増したような感じがします。
本日は1時間かけて、少し遠いところまで。途中でかなり暑くなってきたので、やっぱりシンガポールの日差しは嫌いです。
朝は暑くなる前に散歩、昼はクーラーで涼しい家で運動と家事、夜は週2でテニスというサイクルを確立し、ますます健康的になる予定です。
I’ve heard that many people in Singapore exercise in the early morning because the sunshine is really strong during the day. But I don’t like to wake up early and don’t want to exercise. So I thought it didn’t matter to me. However, my husband started it a few days ago, and I don’t know why. So I came along with him.
On the first day, we left home at 7 a.m. And we went walking at Keppel island for 30 minutes. I was surprised that many people were running and walking even if it was a weekday. And there were also many people taking a walk with their dogs.
The sunlight wasn’t stronger during the morning than the day, so I felt really comfortable and relaxed. And the sight I usually see looked different. I felt like more overseas.
Today, I took a walk for one hour. I went farther than yesterday. Unfortunately, on the way home, it became hotter and hotter. I don’t like the sunlight in Singapore at all.
I’ll keep taking a walk in the morning, and then exercise and do the housework in the afternoon (using the air conditioning), lastly play tennis twice a week at night. And then I’ll be more healthy.
