Fitness: 1st September 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I mentioned yesterday that I would be trying out Ho’oponopono on my ankle pain and I did. It was such a good experience focusing on guilt and rigidity. It took some time, but my pain seemed to subside. As of today, the pain is slightly there, but not as much as yesterday. Imagine that, without even using medication, we can treat our physical ailments. Isn’t that something? Although I got up as…

Fitness: 2nd September 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I went to sleep early morning around 3:30 a.m. after winding up my work. Interestingly, I wasn’t tired, I wanted to lie down so that I could get a couple of hours of rest before my run. Sadly, I did not wake up until 7:30 a.m. I had to drop the idea of a run, as it is no fun to run under the sun. [That rhymed. 😊] Yesterday my focus on my lower abs and lower back had an unusual aftereffect. My…

Fitness: 7th September 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** After a week’s break, the rains returned to my city in all its glory. It was wet as wet can be. It is also a day of Janmashtami celebrated here in India and rains are usually expected. It will be a fun day today. But what about my run? As I have mentioned before in my articles, I am fine with getting on with the run and then getting wet rather than going outside when it is already raining. Today…

Fitness: 8th September 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Continuing from yesterday, the rains were kind on our city today too. I couldn’t stay at home, so I went out anyway. I was lucky that the rain stopped just a couple of minutes before I stepped out. The roads were wet but the weather was pretty pleasant. The roads were too wet for me to run. Now that I was out, I went for a walk instead. I did a brisk walk for fifty minutes. I think I covered about…

Fitness: 9th September 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** It was an unusually cool morning today, and though it looked like it was going to rain, it didn’t. Well, that meant only one thing – an ideal day for a morning run. I wish I had got up earlier. It wasn’t too late. I left home at 5:45 a.m. and had enough time to return by 7 a.m. So, an approximate run of an hour was as good as it gets in the conditions that I had in the morning. Despite some wet…

Fitness: 10th September 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Earlier, Sunday mornings were break days but not anymore. Every Sunday is a fun day for a run, and so was today. I left by 5:30 a.m. and completed a nine-kilometer run. If I had pushed myself, I could have done thirteen too. Anyway, this was not a bad one, so I am happy. It was an odd running day. The entire path was cool and the weather was cloudy. I don’t remember sweating at all. However, in…

Fitness: 12th September 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I took a break yesterday from the run and was focusing only on weights and stamina. Over the next few days, since I have to wake up my daughter for school and drop her off, I may not be able to go for a long run. I will have to wait for the weekend for that. In the meantime, my trusted dumbbells will be the go-to thing. I am contemplating buying heavier dumbbells now that I am used to my 12.5 kg…

Fitness: 22nd September 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** By this time last year, the rains were receding, but not so this year. The monsoon continues its magic, and with that, my runs in the rain. I could write a book on “runs in the rains”, and I assure you it is a pleasant experience so long as you are not carrying any electronic gadgets. 😊 The overnight rains had me thinking if I could be out running in the morning. It was pouring, and the intensity…

Fitness: 25th September 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** I had some time in the morning and work was not going to start before 8 a.m., so I could go for a longer run. I got up at 4 a.m. and got ready to leave by 4:30 a.m. Since there was some time, I meditated for half an hour and left by 5 a.m. Though the path was wet and dry in patches, it did not hinder my pace much. The only thing with dry roads is faster oncoming traffic. The amount of vehicles,…

Fitness: 26th September 2023 + A Did You Know Fitness Question **Good Morning** Following up on the seven-odd kilometers I ran yesterday, I did another four and a half today. I have to run whenever I get the chance, and today the skies were kind and kept the roads dry. Besides, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I have to drop my daughter off for her school practice at 6:00 a.m. So, not enough time for me to complete a run, come back, and then drop my daughter to school. So,…
