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 17: Final week

It has been a very quiet restful day. Thankfully, there is no work, so it is a very free day. First, I did my morning run to take care of the 10,000 steps. Got back home, did my work-out which consisted of my cross-fit routine and 75 sit-ups (a set of 25). After that, I took a shower and had a big breakfast; a plate of boiled yam and fresh tomato stew. Washed down the meal with two cups of tea and then I read a book. I can't remember exactly when I dozed off, maybe an hour or two later.
But it w…

Day 15 : Dukascopy Marathon

My obligations for the contest have started running on auto; my schedule is gradually becoming routine. I am up at about 5am, and start running somewhere around 6am. After the run, I do my cross-fit routine and set of sit-ups. All these usually go smoothly, except for those mornings when my body just refuses to get out of bed.
At those times, it is sheer will and determination that gets me through.
Breakfast is now either toast bread and tea, or some fresh orange juice, several cups of it. I get…

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 3: The Marathon Continues

SPORT
Today's run was not as stressful as yesterday; my body and muscles are gradually adjusting to the change. I still make sure I do some stretches before I hit the road, I have also started do some after the run. I was able to do 8KM today, and all within an hour and half. This was my fourth run, because I started on the 12th of April, and so far so good.
I have been sticking to a particular route, and doing the running early before the sun comes out and it gets too hot. The trick to running…
