After our meeting with Jindo, Hina suggested that we take a little break and have a look around his art gallery that was nearby. Hina was in an unusually good mood as we took a short walk to get there, spouting random nonsense, poking fun at me, laughing at her own jokes, and in general just acting like a school kid on a field trip.
I didn't really hate it though. It felt like a welcome break for me too as things have been very hectic at work lately, not to mention the morning marathon training sessions I had to endure every day. I definitely got better at it than when I first started, but I knew it was still physically impossible that I would complete the marathon. I will do my best as I promised, but what is impossible is impossible.
