Random Thoughts

Its been quite a while since I have updated my blog. Work life was very hectic over last several weeks. Ater spending 4 days away from home every week, weekend time was spend with family and in all this, I somehow managed to take out time to fulfill my 2010 resolution of 1500 miles. I cant believe we are already on the 24rd of Feb in this new year. Time flies faster than you can ever imagine.

First, let me start with some updates on my resolution. Here are some stats - After 54 days, 253.64 miles completed, burned 38700 calories, reduced 12 pounds weight and ... inspired 3 friends to hit the gym or workout atleast 5 days a week. The current run rate is 4.7 miles per day and the required run rate is now only 4 miles per day. I really didnt expect more than this. Everyone was very skeptical in Jan when I publicly announced my resolution. Not that I did a News conference or anything, but informed everybody on my social network :-). There was a reason for letting everyone know my resolution. According to a survey if you make your resolution public, it just makes it a little harder to abandon it. This worked for me. Atleast so far...

There are 10+ more months to go in this year and I will make sure that I meet my resolution. If I cannot run, I will walk. If I cannot walk, I will crawl. But I will complete 1500 miles...

Cheers,
Anil
