Second Week of Training

16th August:
Reported @ 6.30am at KDMC MIDC ground alongwith Pratik Shetty for my company. About Pratik Shetty, he was my student for 5 years from XI com to Bcom and was my student while doing CA - Foundation and Intermediate. He was a sports person right from childhood. A football player he was, he took active participation in sports. He was instrumental and one of the pioneers for formation of Kalyan Dombivli Runners group.

Met Veera sir, with whom had so many chats through Facebook messenger, a stalwart in the field of running for the past 6 years. Has immense knowlegde of running, its impact and other things and always takes lead for promoting running in a big way and had played a major role in motivating me personally. He was instrumental for registering my name at Vasai Virar Marathon for 11kms on 22nd Novemeber 2015, followed by 6km dream run at SCMM mumbai. Felt very happy to meet him at personal level.

Also met Rashi Kadam and few more people who were participants of Saturday Training batch.

Training started sharp at 6.30am as Suhas sir is always very punctual. No running for the day but many exercises specially streching exercises were the order of the day with exercise including football and field marks. After the schedule, the day was converted into joyous mood.

With the three Ultra participants Hari, Dev and Dr. Rajkumar joining us alongwith Dr. Shobha Patil and the likes of Ameya (Who had completed half Iron man at Chennai) and Parag (who completed cycling at Leh for 10 days), the mood was jubliant. Also Gaurav Bharadwaj, Tushar, Mandar and few more people joined the party.

A felicitation of podium finisher Ms. Shruti Swamy and Ultra participants, Ameya and Parag was done and everybody enjoyed the taste of Idlis brought for the day.

A day to remember for me personally for time to come.

Suhas sir said to continue the same schedule as he had given me last week.

Monday has become the best day for me in a week because its rest day. On a serious note, the schedule was to be followed and distance was to be increased. Pratik gave me a hint and I got NIKE plus installed in my Iphone to record, distance covered, time and calories burnt.
