Day 20: Dukascopy Mararthon

Today went by very quickly.
First, I had to be at work quite early for a meeting and presentation; so, I had to get out of bed earlier than usual. I was able to put in my early morning run and completed the 10,000 steps obligation.
The run left me feeling very awake; I am guessing this is what they call a runner’s high; that rush of blood and Adrenalin that comes from bodily exertion.
Then my cross-fit routine and 75 sit-ups.
Somehow, I was able to do all this within two hours, most of this ti…

3 days to go: Dukascopy Marathon

Three days more to go and the Dukascopy Marathon will be over for me; In this time, I will have met my 21-day obligation. It has been a wonderful and enlightening process. From dietary restrictions to scheduled work-outs and multi-kilometer runs; I would be lying if I said it was not challenging.
But just goes to show how much a person can achieve when you set your heart to a task. I got my 10,000 steps in with an early morning run. Did a couple of stretches before I left the house, just to get …

Day 18: Dukascopy Marathon

The Dukascopy marathon is rounding up for me, I have four more days to meet my 21 days obligations. Time went by so quickly, I thought it would feel much longer. The fact that I could adhere to a cross-fit routine, to do a 10,000 steps achievement daily, the 75 sit-ups, diet-change and other lifestyle changes has been a big revelation for me. It goes to show that we can achieve whatever we set our minds to, given the right motivation and incentive. In this case, cash rewards can be very helpful.…

Day 13 : Dukascopy Marathon

Today was a good day, an awesome day actually. We just rounded up a project in the office which has been on for some weeks, and it was a big relief to finally conclude on it. There was a mention of going out to get some drinks and barbecue, but I had to tactfully decline. Alcohol is still off the menu, at least for another ten days or so.
I am considering incorporating some of the marathon changes even after the contest, living healthy has some very good long term
dividends.
On the sports scene,…

Day 7: Dukascopy Marathon

SPORT
No pain, no gain! This is a common saying among trainers and work-out instructors. The general idea is to endure and put in effort for what one truly wants. This saying is true because it takes a lot of effort to achieve the type of physique mos of us want. Staying fit requires exercise, it may not be so much exercise but the quality and consistency is what matters. This is what I remember everyday I take a run to meet the 10,000 steps required.
The first few days are usually very hard, th…

Day 4: Dukascopy Marthon

SPORT
Posting today was hard. It has been a very hectic day.It is Easter Sunday, so I had a lot of family and friends to visit. Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but I was exhausted by the time I got back home. And that is something else that has been happening for the past few days, I have been getting 6 - 8 hours of sleep. A doctor friend told me it is due to all the physical activity I have been engaging in.
Today's 3 sets of 25 sit-ups
The 10,000 steps at the start of everyday, during which I …
