First 10 days of commitment

So, this was the first 10 days of commitment to myself on somethings which I decided. Well, it went good I would say.

- Finished all my runs in the last 10 days
- Joined a Gym for weight training and strengthening and been religious with that
- No refined sugar consumed (not even in candies and cakes)
- No alcohol (skipped some social gatherings only to avoid alcohol)

Yeah, the point 2 is correct. I finally joined a Gym, the reason for the same

1. Have nothing better to do apart from work with A and C not being here
2. Have to start working on my upper body strength so that I can carry the pace for a longer duration

Point 1 in the decisions above is also an achievement with the temperatures in this part of the country dropping to 5 degrees at 6 am. I would say that I am doing decently well

Now, the biggest challenge would be staying injury free. Will keep updating here

Oh Yes! All my dear running buddies, have an awesome time running the SCMM this weekend! Go out there and kick some fine dust!!

First interval training for the year

So, yesterday I was supposed to do 5 x 1000mts repeats. The last time I used to do some kick ass 1000 mts repeats, my pace used to hover around 4:50 min /km. I was able to manage each of the intervals yesterday at an average pace of 5:15-5:19 min/km. It is a humbling feeling, how soon you need to start all over again!!!

Woke up late today and hence wasn't able to do the core exercises. I guess it is in the evening now, core exercises and Netflix!

Anyways, my pace today reminded me of this old advertisement starring Paula Radcliffe :)
