My Neighborhood Changed in Just One Year

Today’s story きょうの あらすじ
It has been about a year since I switched from running to walking. Walking takes longer, so my range has shrunk to roughly half the distance I used to run, and that is now my everyday area. Today I walked off in a direction I had stopped going, and after only one year there were new buildings and new shops everywhere. What surprised me more was not knowing my own neighborhood had changed so completely. It is far enough that I cannot go often, but I should patrol around home now and then.
