One Big FAT Run in September #onebigfatrun

What an accomplishment !! I headed out this morning to do my virtual 5K that I signed up for and was 2 to 3 Km in to the run and my body & mind both started thinking about why not do 5K one-way and come back from the finish line to make it a 10K.

And half an hour in to my run and I took decision to convert this in to a 10K. Touched the 5K point, clicked the finish line picture and guess what registered my fastest 5K (46 minutes, 15 seconds). Now, can I hit another PR today for my fastest 10K. Yes, was the answer from my mind and No was the answer from my body.

In this victory of mind over body, I registered my fastest 10K in 1 hour 42 minutes and 11 seconds. Is not that amazing ?? Clicked another finish line picture at 10K and I am at home.

Thanks a lot to "One Big FAT Run in September" #onebigfatrun group in Facebook, I crushed my goals this month and looking forward to next month's run to create new PR.

Thanks for reading and inspiring me in my weight loss journey.

Milestone: One Third of Adventure - Kashmir to Kanyakumari Done !!

Friends,

For those of you following me on my weight loss journey and my adventure to Walk, Jog, Run, Bike Ride (for my friends in India Bike Ride means our own bicycle riding not motorcycle), Treadmill, or any other means of walking related exercise to virtually cover the distance from Kashmir (northern most city) to Kanyakumari (southern most city) in India; I would like to share a great news. Today, I have completed One Third of this adventure and have already walked 787.7 Miles (1267.6 Km) and that too in 5 months and 1 day. This also means that I am well within my target of under 500 days.

Thanks for all your encouragement and support. Thanks !

150+ Miles in August 2013

I am very happy with my performance in August. Completed 150.53 miles in 31 days, the best part was that I have not missed a single day. And on last day, I need 11+ miles to reach 150 miles mark and I was able to do that. I am targeting 180 miles in September.
