June 24:

One running lesson is very clear to me, before getting on the ground it looks extremely difficult if I can barely run 1km after having long distance run everyday. But with day-by-day, I've noticed that I can do that everyday, and the only way to make that happen is to move out of the comfort zone, embrace the pain, tie up the shoe laces, just put your foot down to take the first step on the ground. Start running. There is no other way, so better buckle up and get into action mode. 🏃🏽‍♂️

That being said, updates from today and how is it going so far.

June 24 : 30kms (15k+15k) : Avg. 5'18"
Total 🏃🏽‍♂️ today for 2h40m (160mins)

Total Calendar 🏃🏽‍♂️ 1-24June: 308kms ✅
Still 157kms left for 25-30June 🌟
I've to run 26kms on an avg. for next 6 days.😎

June 30:
Super happy to successfully complete the June Calendar Run Challenge on June 30. I ran 30kms on June 29, followed by a 25kms run on June 30, wrapping up the Phase 3 (June 21-30) by covering 256kms 🏃🏽‍♂️ and running a total distance of 466kms from 1-30 June. During this period, I completed many Half Marathons, couple of 30Km runs, a Full Marathon, an UltraMarathon of 52kms, and my first ever Half Marathon inside the Airport.

With this challenge, not just I have found a new passion for long distance running but learned so much about myself and what I can possibly achieve when I decide to do something despite all the challenges that may come on the way. If there is a will, there is a way. This challenge taught me to handle everyday as it comes.

June 30: 25kms : Avg. 5'19"
Total Calendar 🏃🏽‍♂️ 1-30June: 466kms ✅
