I've been trying since the end of August to get into some kind of routine with my workout but I've not really been able to stick to the routine I'd envisaged for myself. As admitted earlier, I am lazy and getting up at 6:30- 6:40 AM really stretches my will power to the breaking point.
To carry on, after the run on the 4th of September, I did not go for a run for the next two days. I did manage to put in 20 push ups and 40 squats on the 5th. On the 7th, I went for a walk. For a change, I ran on a promenade and i really managed to run one kilometer without stopping. That was my first one km without pausing to catch my breath since June or July 2014. In effect, I ran one km after almost 13-14 months. On the 7th, I managed 6.40 k.m @ 9.45 minutes per kilometer. My fastest kilometer was in 7.38 minutes. Not a record beating pace by any stretch of imagination but I am glad I managed even that.
I also managed 21 push ups and 42 squats post my run.
Today, I again went. I did not go yesterday as I was very sore and also, I had a very long day ahead of me. Today, it started drizzling while I was running. I was tired so I managed just 4.55 km @ 9.23 minutes per km. Yes, today was faster than the day before but I could not manage to run one km without a pause. Had I run/ walked 6.5 odd kilometers that I'd clocked day before, my average time would probably have been much higher. Yesternight, I had a few drinks and today it affected my run. As mentioned, I could not finish a one km run. I pulled up panting at 700 meters. I've observed this on many occasions. I drink, and the next day I can't run as hard or as much. Another point against devil booze!
Today, I again managed 21 push ups and 42 squats.
This brings the total of September up to 23.6 km @9.44 min/ km; 82 push ups and 164 squats. On a daily basis, 20 odd push ups and 40 odd squats don't seem much but they are starting to add up!! Yipee!!
