Good Morning

All this running over the last year gave me the confidence to go for a half-marathon and I did it last month. It has been three years since I ran the last twenty-one-kilometer distance. The most I had done since was thirteen kilometers, so I had to go for the longer one.

I had been practicing for more than a year now and I have stayed consistent. Every morning I wake up for a run or walk. It was time to put the training to test. Would it stand the test of 21 kilometers? Let’s find out.

The run started at 5:30 a.m. but I was there a lot earlier. I think I reached by 4:45 a.m. just to be sure. The good part about all these runs is that they are early in the morning. This helps in staying cool throughout the run. Once the sun comes out we start sweating and so lose energy and momentum.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I did complete the half marathon. Here is the map to confirm. 😊

My pace though is something that can be further improved. Since I train running over flyovers, the fairly level running track was easy for me. It is only the last six kilometers where my speed fell a lot. Now I know what to work on and that is what I will get doing.

Here is my run summary:

It was a pleasant experience and I will be doing more competitive runs this year. You will know how that pans out. 😊

Before I leave, Ho’oponopono still is my trusted energy exercise to go to. You can do some good for yourself too. Here is my write-up on the topic for those wanting to know more about Ho'oponopono.

Have fun reading and practicing.

Anyway, that's it from me for now. I will see you all tomorrow.

Namaste.

😊

Did You Know?

Okay, this is one of the unexpected records but interesting nonetheless. The fun part is not many of you would know about it. Did you know there is a record for going up a flight of stairs with a person on your head? Yeah, there is.

Giang Quoc Nghiep and Giang Quoc Co, both brothers, hold the record. The brother went up 100 stairs while balancing the other on his head. The record was created on 23rd December 2021. The Vietnam nationals went up 100 stairs in just 53.6 seconds.
