Jogging I Started Amid Busy Days
Dear Takeshi, How are you? Actually, I started jogging last month during breaks from work. Because I kept working overtime every day, I had no time to exercise, and I began to worry about my declining physical strength. After much hesitation, I decided to run every morning in a nearby park. My coworker was so surprised—saying, 'Getting up that early is impressive!'—that I've really come to feel my body getting lighter. Would you like to run together sometime?

- 「~ほど」expresses the degree of something by giving a concrete example, meaning 'to the extent that ~' or 'so much that ~'.
