Last year I had a plan of getting healthy, as I reached the milestone of 40. For various reasons, which seem just excuses now. I wasn't able to take control of my life. One of the main excuses was my job and the travel which came along with it. Since september of last year that has been resolved. Now time is not the constraint, it is about how to utilise it productively. This has helped me introspect, reevaluate priorities and set myself new goals. 

On getting healthy I have decided to set myself a goal of atleast being able to do a 5 km run comfortably by Feb. The aim is to then increase it to 10 and attempt a half marathon before the year 

end.

I am tracking my progress using Moov Now which is a great gadget. Unlike the wearables available in the market, 'Moov Now' is a training partner calculating all the parameters of activities like running, walking and swimming and giving relevant feedback. It is a personal trainer and understands when to push you and more importantly correct your technique. This gives me a whole lot of details about the run. I'm sharing one of the screens of the information which is available through the app

I am also using the running app from Redrock Apps. This app guides you on an interval training and starts of easy with the difficulty growing as we go towards the more advanced weeks. 

It is all about setting a routine. I need to pre plan the route and the time. So far I have been able to adhere to the program. 

I'll keep updating this section with details of my run. This would help me document my journey and also keep me committed to the goal.
