Fitness: 7th July 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Despite the current monsoon, I was lucky to find the roads in the morning a bit dry. I made the most of it Monsoon has got going really well over here. Just a week back, there were concerns about the city's water reserves not being enough to last past a month, and now we are already talking about one of the lakes having overflowed. The change from worry to abundance has been one short week. 😊 Well,…

Fitness: 8th July 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Today morning the rains were in an accommodative mood, so it was just drizzles that I had to contend with. That meant I could go out for a walk but not a run. And I did just that. It wouldn't be much of an issue to run, but for the roads having small tracts of standing water. To go around such a patch with oncoming traffic is asking for too much. So, the more sensible thing is to go walking. What did…

Fitness: 10th July 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** The heavy downpour continues, albeit it slows down in the morning. And that makes it easier for me to go out for a walk. So, it looks like divine intervention works well for me, even in the monsoons. 😊 The best part of the whole thing is that the mornings are darker and way cooler than we experienced just a few days back. That makes the entire experience of the walk even better. Of course, there will…

Fitness: 14th July 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** The morning was cool and a bit wet but good enough to allow me a happy stroll. The stroll then turned to a walk followed by a run. An energetic and wonderful morning for me. 😊 In the last so many years, this happens to be the first one where I am actively going out for my walks and runs despite the monsoons. I have a different level of appreciation for myself for doing this. I now realize that the wet…

Fitness: 18th July 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** After nearly two weeks of rain, today was the first day I found the roads dry. There were patches of water at some places, but the road was dry enough for serious running. And that's what I did. 😊 Since I had a superb Sunday afternoon sleep, I decided to work through the night. I worked till 5 a.m., woke up my daughter for her school, and then got going for my first run. First run? Yes, today was a…

Fitness: 19th July 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Today was another pleasant morning though the rains paid a brief visit. The roads were wet but nothing too bad for a walk. Since there was no rush, I could go on for a longer walk at a leisurely pace. The morning wasn't as hectic as yesterday, so it was a fairly get up and get going mode for me. I notice that there are runners who brave the rains, too, which is such an incredible thing. At times, I…

Fitness: 20th July 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Witnessing the heavy rains yesterday night, I wasn't sure the morning would be any better. However, the morning was clear indeed! Given the wet roads and occasional showers, I was surprised that it still made for a good outing. Outing is what I did, and I am glad that I could. These days I have changed my schedule a bit. I sleep about four hours in the afternoon and then go full throttle on the work…

Fitness: 22nd July 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I was a little down from yesterday night. I don't think I am in the pink of health. However, I had to still drop my daughter off at 6 a.m., and then on the way back, I decided to go for a walk. Thankfully, wifey did not have her fitness class today, so that gave me a bit of a respite from the otherwise rush-rush day that could have been. Usually, I like the rush. Somehow I get done more when I am in a…

Fitness: 29th July 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** After a quick health recovery from a severe cold and fever, I was happy to be out today morning. I realize it means so much to me to be out there. The fun is even more when I am running. There is no stopping this guy! 😊 The morning stayed dry over two consecutive days now. We are still in the monsoon season, but the rains have taken a break. I loved the rainy mornings also, but the dry mornings…

Fitness: 30th July 2022 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Today was a breather being a Saturday, so I had a bit of time on my hands to go slow. Apparently, we might have clear skies for a week, which means a week of running. It was a bit warm in the morning compared to how it had been over the past month. For a change, the roads were filled with fitness freaks. I think the dry break got them out. It is always good to have people around you – you never know…
