Milestone: Halfway to my 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 cardiovascular 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. Yesterday, I have completed HALF of this adventure and have already walked 1183.3 Miles (1904.34 Km) in 1 year and  month including a 4 months gap when Krisha was born. Thanks for all your encouragement and support !

My First Half Marathon !!

Wow !! I can not believe it myself. The person who could not walk 1 mile an year ago, completed 13.1 miles today !! Yahoo !! It was a tough one on the treadmill for 2 hours and 35 minutes. It was a win of mind over body. Too tired to write any further. So, without any delays here are the proofs.

1000 Miles (1609 Km) Achieved !!

Yes, I did it ! I could have done it much earlier but "Better Late than Never !!"

1,000 miles mark reached. What an amazing personal accomplishment for someone who could not walk a mile 11 months ago. I am still not able to believe that I have done it. And this just a beginning to a wonderful and healthy life. God has given me this life and I have to take care of it. Amen !

11 months = 1000 miles = 1609 km = 21 lb weight loss

A Thousand Miles !! How much exactly is it ?

• 1609.34 Km
• 10 times of distance from my home town (Moradabad) to New Delhi.
• My home town (Moradabad) to Mumbai (Bombay).
• Denver, CO (my current home) to Los Angeles, CA
• New York, NY to Orlando, Florida.

114 Miles in October 2013

Completed 114.23 miles in October 2013. Target for November is 150 miles.

Battle of the Sexes, Pt. 2 - Day 10 - Last Day

Yes, I did It !! Winners NEVER Quit !! As I said in my last post, this challenge has got the best out of me. 100+ Km in 10 days with an average speed of around 4 miles and hour. Specially, these last two days were amazing 43+ Km in 2 days. I never thought of that in my wildest dreams. Thanks to all of you for your support and motivation.
