RUN BEYOND YOURSELF - 10K

First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to Thank my friend Dinesh Navsupe for inviting me to this event on Facebook.

As promised, since I am in US; I have done my race virtually from here. All the underprivileged patients of Neonatal ICU in KEM Hospital,Pune were in my thoughts when I was doing this 10K today morning.

I was very excited to hear that this was the LARGEST CHARITY running event in India. I wish all the very best for all these type of events in India and worldwide. We all have to come together to make the world a better place to live.

Personally also, I broke quite a few records on this run. My fastest 5K (44 minutes 29 seconds) so far and beat my last PR by 1 minute 46 seconds. My fastest 10K (1 hour 36 minutes 49 seconds) so far and beat my last PR by 5 minutes and 26 seconds.

Thanks for reading and supporting friends.

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 !
