IRON.MEHTA · MISSION CONTROLOn the edge of saying no and going anyway
Body felt better after sleeping on time.
MORNING
When life starts to adapt to your goals. I've been asking my wife for quite some days to go out on a date. Luckily she accepted to go on an early dinner and ice cream date last night. We were back home on time by 9.30 p.m., in the bed by 10, slept on time, and woke up before 5 a.m.
Today was day on Thursday. We usually run with Adidas Running Club. It's a speed day workout. We do interval training.
I reached before 5.50 a.m., did some intermediatory stretch, dynamic stretch, then we did a slow jog for almost 2 km (Strava: 2.76 km). Then came the interval training, 800x3, then 400x3, and then 200x3. These intervals were not easy but my body is adapting to them quite well. I am always so motivated to run with runners and athletes who are way ahead of me, but it just makes me so motivated to run with them and to run shoulder to shoulder with them. Then I was having a mental breakdown.
After the running we did a small cool down. My brain was going fuzzy and there was a lack of intent to do a second workout. Luckily my friend Rhythm called me to come to the gym and do workout. Had he not called me I would have not gone, but once I was at the gym I did my best what I could considering I had done the interval training already today.

I am so so grateful to have friends and families to support me in this journey. My friends who are always pushing me every workout, there is somebody who is next to me and helping me with my workout be it swimming, running or cycling, and similarly at home and at work people are starting to understand that I am less available for everyone as I am chasing this goal, so truly truly grateful for everything.
My brain was going fuzzy.
