Good Morning

After a brief dry spell of a week, the monsoon has returned in true earnest. In yesterday's post, I mentioned how the weather has grown cooler and more pleasant, which continues to remain so. I just love it and enjoy walking in this weather as much as watching it from the warmth of my home. 😊

How does the weather help my fitness regime? I don't sweat and, therefore, don't get tired. I can just keep on going. That's the best part of the cool weather.

So, what did I do today?

Today was the second day in succession that I ran six kilometers. The run was a breeze compared to yesterday, and I believe that it has to do with the weather and my own body adapting well to the run routine. The near one month of just walks and smaller runs are giving way to longer ones. As always, I love it.

Once back home, I had to get on with weights. I focused on my abs, arms, back, and shoulders. It took me about half an hour to run through the schedule. Today I did have some time to add resistance and stress training to the regime. So, that was another half hour to the total. While I was at it, I threw in some planks as well. I did multiple variations of planks – regular, side, on palms, and elbows. It was something! 😊

And then, to round up a perfect regime, I did manage to squeeze in a few sessions of Ho'oponopono. Here is my write-up on the topic for those wanting to learn 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?

Records come in all shapes, sizes, and modes, and here is one of them. There is a record registered with Guinness Books for the fastest 50 meters of walking on hands while holding a soccer ball between the legs.

Yes, that's a record, and it belongs to Zhang Shuang of China. Zhang created the record on 30th April 2016, completing the 50-meter dash in 26.09 seconds.

Fancy challenging that record?
