#TheLifesWayGoals @HuaweiZA #MTN702WALK #Target25km 28Jul19 - Week 3 #HuaweiWatchGT

Hi Friends,

Week 3 started with the great news that I will be using Huawei Watch GT as my primary device to capture my walk towards 25km training and share my progress on my blog and other social media channels. I am thankful to Huawei for the same once again.

3rd Tuesday has the target of 10km which was easy to do as I already did cover that on Saturday of Week 2 but this time I saved some 5 minutes of my walking time to complete the walk. This was really great and gave me the confidence to do with my walks as per plan schedule. It was tough though that I wanted to postpone the walk but somehow carried on and finished the same.

3rd Thursday was on 23rd May 2019 which was also the results day for the Indian Election 2019 and as I was interested to know who will be the winner all across India so was awake since 330am and started watching TV and watched till the end of the day when the final results were still coming. I started walking but could not do it further than 3.75km as I was really tired and sleepy. If you are not able to sleep well, the walk or run is extremely difficult for me I could get from my body.
3rd Saturday saw me sleeping all day and was fully tired but went shopping and brought some Energade and Cadbury's 5 Star chocolate as I need to walk 12km on that day. As I completed 3km, I started drinking Energade Naartjie flavor and it really gave me instant power and I finished the 500ml bottle by the time I reached around 5km. The only problem with Energade is that it makes you pee a lot and I have to find a loo by 6.5km and soon again at around 8.5km due to the drink. I didn't drink any water for the whole walk and only drank once I reached home.

Saturday also saw me changing my socks to thick ones from Jockey and with my New Balance fresh foam 980 Shoes it never gave me any problems at all. The only problem is that these shoes have already walked around 73km since I started training in them (9 walks) and since I got them from the brand in one of their activations in Feb 2014 and since then it must have seen more than 200km in last 5 years. The life of these shoes is over but I am not able to find another pair which are better than these ones. I have never felt any pain in my feet using these shoes even when I ran long ago for 5km in them without any practice.

New Balance Shoes from Feb 2014 - almost going to take the fall!
All these walks are giving me insights into my mind and body and told me that I need to take some vitamins and energy drinks on my way to 25km. I have started eating Almonds too and need to check how Banana Shake can help me if I take it before my walk every week?

I also ordered Remedy Health Compression Socks for my tired feet from OneDayOnly website and wore them on Saturday night after my walk. It really gave me total foot support and made them relaxed. They were on sale at One Day Only website and you shall check out their deals every morning and every day at 1pm.

Valentine's date with New Balance @BallzRadio

Hi Guys,
It was a valentine's week and I was missing my wife a lot. There has been nothing I was doing other than work and I was feeling very bored. The valentine's day fell on Friday and my office celebrated the achiever's day where many a people got certificate for the job well done. We didn't got the same so it was demotivating to an extent but they covered it with a cup cake which were delicious.

I reached home around five and went on to drink a cup of tea. I checked my twitter and saw people posting snaps of reaching the venue and showcasing their new NEW BALANCE 980 FRESH FOAM shoes. I too tweeted many a times asking about the venue earlier but didn't got any response and that day admin was working a lot so I got a response at 535pm after the event got started at 5pm. I asked them if I can come and they said yeah. I searched the place and it was very near to my home. I went there and lost way as it was not the place I knew so asked someone in Woodmeads mall security which guided me to the right location. I entered the @BallzRadio office premises and parked my car. They said that the last group left just now and I need to catch up with them. I immediately ran after them and what a run!

 Oracle was not the sponsor :-P

It was a lot of fun and the @UrbanFitSA team really made it more awesome with their exercises and humour. We need to keep tweeting and as you all know I have done bachelors in tweeting business so I kept myself on it. I was doing some exercises on my way catching up the enthusiastic people but they were awesomely fast and fit. 
Aquavita was our mineral water drinking partner for the run.


It was time to salute all those who came all the way on this day of Valentine’s for making them bathe in sweat and sand. To my surprise, I was the winner of the tweeter contest and got my brand new NBshoes of my size. John Walland was the chief guest of the fun run and he presented all the people with awesome goodies. It was another story that everyone else got it too and they got @BallzRadio goodies on top of it which I missed somehow being a first prize winner. 

This is Mr. John Walland
My new New Balance Fresh Foam 980 shoes

After the meet admin of Twitter handle of the brand came to me and congratulated me on my win and said she wanted me to win with my hilarious and witty tweets. I realized that this was my first ever run after I started working in an IT company. Though I considered myself fully fit but regular run really makes you active and brimming with energy to take on office work with ease. I really thank New Balance and Ballz Radio for the FRESH FOAM 980 running shoes. The target that day I had in my mind was to run 5kms for a weekend racing event with my employer and later on that in another blog post.

Cheers!!!
