8.48 kms


 Squeezed in a 8.48 kms on a Sunday morning in deadly humidity and heat in Bombay. Coming back to running after almost two weeks of non running did have its effect though. Luckily could manage today without taking a walking break. Have a great day folks.

3.12 kms


 

evening walk of 3.12 kms with the kiddo, did inside the colony only - some of the roads have been dug up, so had to take a detour of sorts. Little bit of breeze at one stretch, otherwise since the sun had already set, it was ok. Worked up quite an appetite now. 

3.42 kms


 

Back running after 13 days hiatus due to one reason or another. Feels good to be back. Did a low mileage planning to do a back to back long run tomorrow. Running is stress free, its the best destresser in the world. Have a great weekend folks.

8.61 kms in Aarey Forest

 


8.61 kms long run in the Aarey Forest. Going to Aarey after a long time, about a year or more perhaps, and well worth the run, because Aarey is tough, full of hills and you get pure oxygen inside the forest. The roads are in a pathetic state though, don't know why the government is not repairing them. Its full of potholes all over and many places there are no roads at all. Very bad governance by whoever is responsible for it.

6k virtual race

 


6k virtual race, all by myself. The weather was dry and humid, so it was not helping either. Improved the per kms pace from 6.39/km last month to 6.35/km this time. Have a great day folks.

9.19 kms

 


9.19 kms for the morning. There was a slight drizzle going almost throughout the race, so that helped cool the temps. Its a bliss to run in slight rains, like nothing can beat it.

5.13 kms

 


5.13 kms walk/ run with the kiddo, more walk than run, second run of the day and evening runs are always more stressful than morning ones because of the traffic. Weather was OK having rained during the day. 

8.87 kms

 


8.87 kms Sunday long run in 01.03 hours in humid weather in Bombay. Got some rain at about 3 kms and then it rained when i was walking back home. Running is meditation in motion. You are like focused and zombie like whilst running.

The 12 week Fitness Project

 


Quick read book by Rujuta Diwekar, although one is supposed to read it slowly and imbibe it along the way and follow the instructions from the book, which is what i did. I like her bindaas attitude to food in the sense that she advocates eating ghee, white sugar, jaggery etc. all of which are anathema to other nutritionists or diet consultants. She uses a lot of Indianised words in the book, which is the hallmark in her earlier books as well "Don't Lose your Mind, Lose your Weight" which was also a good book to read. One has to follow the instructions to the T for proper results otherwise it will not be visible, which is what happens to most of us, in the sense that we get busy with our work lives and forget to follow most of the basic principles advocated in the book. Lot of the information given in the book is very practical to use and adapt. I would recommend, read one chapter at a time, imbibe and practice solutions from that chapter and then go ahead. Highly recommended read.
