World Photography Day 2023

First official Half Marathon.
Pachamari Monsoon 2023🏃🏻✅
I registered for the event with my friends and started training for it in parallel to .3 under the guidance of Praveen Sir with .in 🏊🚴🏃🏻
The training routine was on point & smooth. The excitement level was high and I even ordered a new pair of running shoes so I can practice in the last week prior to the race. 👣
Unfortunately I fell sick because of the flu just 6 Days before the event. 🤒🤧
Got sad & a little worried about the participation, I decided to take complete bed rest for 3 days straight & skipped all the scheduled training workouts running, swimming & strength Yoga session with the hope of faster recovery. On Thursday evening I started feeling better as the fever was gone but the cough and cold were still there. Forgetting about the Sub 2 hour Target, the only thing that was in my mind was participating in the race & finishing without any injury and faint. Friends kept motivating & I received positive energy from various friends and well wishers.
On Friday evening, I messaged Dr. Priya Mam about the situation, she checked my resting HR and said "Your RHR is far better than many athletes, so don't worry about the event". When a Doctor who herself is an endurance athlete, stated these words my morale picked up the boost and I gained back my confidence.😊
On Saturday morning I left for Pachamari with my friends, collected our bibs & met other friends on the counter. After lunch we headed to our hotel and found out our booking got cancelled because of some issues between OYO and the property owner. We complained about it to OYO but they said they won't be able to help with anything as each and every hotel is booked due to the weekend rush and Marathon. (Bas isi ki kami aur thi 😤) Anyhow we managed our accommodation by the evening (that's again a long story saved for later).
Had a sound sleep after all the struggle and wake up fresh in the morning. Started running at a slower pace & easy HR for 2KM then picked up the pace & finished the run in 2Hr 2Min. I was surprised!! 🤐
Big thanks to everyone mentioned in this post. 🙂

You have come so far. Please think about where you were a year ago, or three or five or seven. You have scaled mountains, you have overcome the things you once thought you never would. You have done things you didn't think you could do, even some of them were just getting out of bed and facing another day.

It's all started with Yog... (YOGA). Life got transformed holistically ✨

Happy World Yoga Day 2022 😊

Would like to share some words of Gratitude for Micky Bhaiya who came forward and gave his Merida Crossway Hybrid Bike, when I was struggling with repairing my MTB. Cranks was got damaged and consuming my 30% of efforts and energy during Kashmir To Kanyakumari cycling expedition.
After seeing me struggle with my bike and listening to my experience, Micky bhai insisted me to take and use his bike without overthinking. To lighten up my hesitation he said " Bhai ! Please le ja bike, I will be happy and proud to see my bike reaching Kanyakumari through you". And he said that with a big smile on his face.
At that moment how could have I said "NO".
Next day he asked me to come home and check the bike if it fits my size. We had lunch together and he then show me his wall of memories where he installed a board with all of his tags, bibs, medals and souvenir he collected through various races, events and bike trips he did so far. I was amazed to see the wall. And that moment I realised how passionate he is about his hobbies and how compassionate human he is 🙏✨❤️
Swipe right for more pictures related to the story I shared. 😊
Bike really helped me for completing the remaining 2/3rd part of the expedition (Bhopal to Kanyakumari) that's too with my best performance with avg speed.
I can't thank enough bhai for this lovely gesture
