How I did it
How to run a half marathon
It took me
3 months
It made me
Awesome

How I did it: First of I dropped off all the excess weight I had put on and got to a point where I could run 3KMs at a stretch. Once that was done I followed a half-marathon program religiously for over 2 months. Increasing my distance gradually (the 10 percent rule).I would suggest that if the half marathon program is 12 weeks long, give yourself 2 weeks of extra bandwidth for injuries and other unplanned things which would eat into your schedule. So … Read how I did it…

How to get fit
It took me
3 months
It made me
Joyful

How I did it: I first cut down on my calories and dropped like 8 kilos in less than 2 months (yes, that's fast and I don't think everyone should try something this drastic). I was at the same time hitting the gym 5 days a week and spending around 2 hours each day. I used to do cardio and weight training on alternate days.Once I reached a normal BMI, I was asked by the gym physio to maintain my weight. As I had reached my target weight, I needed a new c… Read how I did it…

Plateau-ing 5 months ago

I’m able to do A-Shape barre chords. I know the beginnings of few songs, but I’m lazy to learn them completely. I feel that I keep on playing and doing things I already know, without learning anything new :(

I want to make a daily practice schedule. Any suggestions?

5-8 Computer Ban 5 months ago

I have made a new rule that I will not use the computer from 5 PM to 8 PM. I am allowed to do anything but touch the PC. I have been more or less regular for the past few weeks.

Run a Half-Marathon in under 2 hours
Did it, but unofficially 9 months ago

I ran the Auroville half marathon. The race was completely trail. I got lost in between and ran 1.8 KM extra. I covered 21.1 KM at a time of 1:57:43, according to my Garmin, but finished the race only at 2:07. I wish I had the dream finish of under 2 hours at the finish line.

I’m in a dilemma whether to mark this as done or not :(
