Caught in a massive traffic jam on Western Express Highway from Bandra till Goregaon, increase ETA at Malad from 2000 hrs to 2105 hrs.
Reason: potholes on Aarey flyover, which I tweeted on 31st May also.

All fasted, last meal at 1230 hrs on Friday, but had a breakfast after a long workout.

So today on 26th, we had Happy 26th Anniversary family lunch outing.
Happy to be on a fitness journey together in the second Silver Jubilee pursuit!

Right from the inception, Kejriwal is known to take U turns and embrace the very same people against whom he was supposedly carrying proof of corruption all the time!
What happened to the Jan Lokpal? 😢
How to have a

meal in a Chennai vegetarian restaurant during lunch time?
Oral communication is difficult due to language barrier!
So ordered meals, when he brought, returned rice and chapati. 😀
The staff & the Manager at the cash counter were left bewildered!
On pre-race rest day, enjoying the privilege & simple Luxury of a cup of tea in the morning Sun 🌞, with temp of 5°C, something I can't imagine doing it in Mumbai.
Also reminded of my earlier days in Dehradun.

Sir,
Isn't it time to dive into your claim of "Ease of doing business"?
The ground reality is far far different than your claims.
You claim to be known to follow up on your announcements. Please practice it Sir. 🙏
Starting a business in India requires adhering to 69,233 compliances and 1,536 laws.
Before I read this magnum opus by

I went to office yesterday after 6 months of WFH, to see off a colleague leaving after 20 yrs of service.

Imagine the plight of doctors in PPE kits whole day!
Happy Silver Anniversary to my better half

Generally ministers make such comments, and the companies send the gift to them. After some time fare reduction takes a back seat.

First run when it rained throughout the 18km in BNP.
I enjoyed to the hilt, especially as I resumed running after 5 days due to low back pain (caused by weight training without any warm up, yes warm ups are important people)...

35k for the day including alternating between 3*1k slow & 3*10k fast, followed by a 2k cool down run.
The last 10k was an effort where I had to take an energy bar & Thums Up!
Will have to try a gel for my next long run I guess.

After last Sunday's maiden 50k cycling, repeated the feat this morning & found it much easier today.
50k seems to be a new benchmark, which I will try to repeat for few weeks, before increasing to 60k.
In between, it rained for 10 mins, adding to enjoyment.

Weekend long run from Malad West to Bandra East. 22+ km, no rains, so humid weather, but enjoyed it. Need to build endurance further.
Have a great weekend friends 😊
Day 3 in Leh, a short easy run of 9k & 1.5k walk this morning.
Great roads to run with some great views.
If only there was more vegetation on the mountains here, oxygen concentration could have been better.

We also need to look into the pitfalls of vaccinating people below 30.
In the UK, those below 30 are offered an alternative vaccine to Covishield due to rare blood clots!
So we need to be careful too in this excitement.
Leh trip Day 2
Went for a 13k run-walk to Shanti Stupa & back, to acclamatize to the height of 3800 meters. Good that AHR was 127 despite less oxygen in hills. Met some famous & known runners at Stupa.
Regular exercise and sensible eating helps in taking care of the lipid profile + other markers, in addition to many well wishing friends on X!
I would be happier if HDL was above 60 though.
Grateful to Almighty & you all 🙏

Last long run of 2023 this morning, 1k warm up and 28k tempo. Last few kms were challenging though!

i am at a restaurant, next to me is a large family, all age groups. None of them have their phones on the table or in their hands. There’s a toddler running around & crawling under the table. She’s not being silenced with a gadget either, the family gave her straws to play with.
Thanks for an active year gone by!
3000 km covered overall, including 2220 kms of running!
Need to do more cross training in 2023 as cycling was way too less in 22!
