Good Morning

Today morning was a bit of an adventure which I loved. The rains have been at it for a few weeks now, so we can only feel blessed about it. The weather is cooler, and our lakes around the city are filling up steadily. But then, what do I do about my runs?

Simple – run in the rain. That’s what I did, and I loved it every bit. I was soaked completely, and the only gadget on me, my phone, was tucked away in a plastic bag. I need to find a better way to take my gadgets in the rain. Or not take it at all. 😉

Anyway, how did my day go?

So, I stepped out into the rain, which had briefly let up at 4:50 a.m. It was pitch dark like I love, and then, I got going with the run. My shoes got soaked almost immediately, and then the regular challenges of puddles, etc. were there to handle. I went through all of them and was mighty pleased with myself. I ran 13 kilometers but it took way more time than my regular run. I was okay with that and fine with myself.

Once home, I had to lie down for five minutes. It was a long run in a long time. That five-minute break was good enough to recharge me. Then I had a few rounds of dumbbells focusing on my arms, shoulders, and abs.

Before my run, I had about half an hour of meditation sessions, and it only made sense to wind up my exercise regime with Ho’oponopono. It is one of the most entertaining things to do for ourselves. 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?

About a year back, I had written about the abdominal plank record belonging to George Hood of the USA. The timing was an impressive and astounding 8 hours 15 minutes and 15 seconds. What is even more astounding is that this is not the record anymore.

Daniel Scali of Australia is the new abdominal plank record holder. Daniel stayed in the plank position for 9 hours 30 minutes and 1 second. That’s more than an hour over the previous record.

Both George and Daniel are people to look up to, as George was 62 years old when he made his record, while Daniel has Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), leaving his left arm in constant pain!

Respect!
