Completed 300 Miles !!

I know that I am not able to post my updates. I am very busy these days but that does not mean I am not walking. I am just not posting my results. However, today I could not stop myself to take out couple of minutes for this post.

What an achievement !!! Amazing ! Amazing ! Amazing !

I have completed 300 miles.......Awesome ! And that marks 12.9 % of my adventure for Kashmir to Kanyakumari is complete and it took me 65 days to reach 12.9 % of the total that means it will take me 505 days to complete my adventure. But, my target is to complete it in less than 500 days. Can I do it ? Yes for sure, remember first few days of the journey were couple of miles a day. So, the average is little less as of now. I will improve it real soon......

Wish me luck guys ! Thanks for reading my post.

Week 1 of Color In Motion 5K Training Complete

I was successfully able to complete 1st week of couch to 5K training for my first 5K in July. It went really well actually. I followed the interval training as per the guidance. Now, time for Week 2 training starting from Monday. Same interval training with increased time for running.

"Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 90 seconds of jogging and two minutes of walking for a total of 20 minutes."

Goal Setting Time for June 2013

Good News ! Day 1 of Training for Color In Motion 5K went really well. I could only do 14 minutes of interval training instead of 20 minutes. However, I did complete my 5.25 miles non-stop walk. Tomorrow will be the Day 2 for the training and I will try my best to complete 20 minutes this time.

Also, it is time to set some goals for June 2013. So, I did complete151 miles walk in the month of May 2013 which as per few of my friends is insane. However, I never felt it that way. So, what's the challenge for this month. I am planning to continue my 45 miles a week trend from last 2 weeks and complete 180 miles in the month of June 2013. Because I also have to look for the big goal of walking for 2400 miles from Kashmir to Kanyakumari in 500 days.

So, here is the deal 180 miles this month will take my total to 340 miles which is around 14% of the total distance. Isn't that amazing ? So, where am I as of today ? I have covered 180 miles so far which is 7.5% of total distance. Not at all bad for first 6 weeks of the journey.

Alright guys, thanks for reading my blog and I will keep you posted on my progress. BTW, that reminds me that you might want to check the ticker at the top. I am another pound down. Yahoo ! So, 6 pounds gone in 6 weeks. It is still the same trend of one pound a week.

Training for Color In Motion 5K - Week 1 !!

As you all know, I have signed up for my first 5K on July 26th 2013. Yahoo !! Color In Motion 5K !!

So, I have to start training my body for it. I have almost 8 weeks to get my body in to the jogging/running mode for my first 5K.The training plan for the first week is to start from tomorrow. Three days a week (Sunday, Wednesday, Friday) follow the program below after stretches.

"Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes. "

Let's do it !

A very good start for June 2013

5.2 Miles walk today morning with burning 931 calories in 1 hour 53 minutes. That is just awesome ! My pace was little slow this morning. I am not sure why but just wanted to complete 5 miles and I did it !

Thank you God for helping me today. It looked like impossible this morning. Again not sure why I was so low on energy this morning. I did complete two 5 mile walks last week, no idea what was wrong this morning. Again if my God is with me I can do anything.

Thanks guys for reading this and all your good wishes in my journey.
