Today is a national holiday in Japan - Sports Day. It is held annually on the second Monday in October and commemorates the opening of the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo and exists to promote sports and an active lifestyle. The first Sports Day was held on October 10, 1966, two years after the 1964 Olympics. In 2000, as a result of the Happy Monday System, the holiday was moved to the second Monday in October.

It's not a sport, but just walking up and down the stairs a few times while carrying your luggage can make your legs tired. I am keenly aware of my lack of exercise.😨
Not my favourite of all holidays, but I did indeed exercise for a bit this Monday! Yay me!
