I've been reading "Runners World" a marathon running related magazine for inspiration these days....an interview with the co-founder of twitter caught my eye and provided much needed inspiration. He mentions in his interview that he tweets every morning that he plans to run...so this leads to people asking him whether he ran that day..which of course motivates him to run on those days..so that he can answer them without a guilt and his head held high (well my words, not his..;-))...so in the spirit of holding my head high...I would also like to declare that I plan to run a half marathon this year!!!
The last year when I decided to do the Mumbai Half Marathon, not that I didn't have a good number of people asking me about it and also providing daily inspiration..but this time its a much more public declaration...so am sure it will inspire me further plus I have no excuses too. Taking all sorts of inspiration today...I also plan to use the idea from "The diary of a Fat Man" from Mumbai Mirror where this guys reports every week on his weight loss progress......no...no...don't plan to report on the weight loss progress...though I'd love to do a before and after series of myself....but on the running progress every week, so that I feel compelled at least 2 days before every Friday to start running...!
Anyway the registration for the marathons here is more expensive than our Stanchart Marathon...so am sure there are serious runners..not like hundreds if not thousands of us who walked the Sea link this time...so don't want to enroll and not run or run/ walk and end up in the last few finishing the race...so I'm all serious this time...
So those who read this...pls put a reminder for yourself to check on my progress...lest I try to chicken out....and pretend this blog was never written...will surely owe you for it..and then who knows I may be able to have my before and after series as well...!!!!!
