Day 161 to 180

Alright this has been long overdue... My laptop charger broke off... so didnt have access to internet for a while... i managed to download the Blogger app in my mobile, but typing into it is difficult... so didnt write it... Got the new charger now, so set to write again.... on 10th did a 10km in a hilly forest area and then got back pain again... 3 weeks of no activity and no running... getting back on track from last week onwards... During the 3 weeks of rest had plenty of food and specially chicken... for some reason, 3 or 4 days of eating chicken helps with back pain... might just be my superstition... anyway been a mixed period of rest and activity... pleasure and pain... kind of fire and ice... here is the list of my activity from daily mile.... i made sure to keep the log up to date... all in all I'm at 90 now... its not going down below... in last week i have increased the activity and started working out on the bicycle machine in the gym... increasing the load on it to go up to a maximum of 20... Will try to update the blog daily from tomorrow on wards... my big downfall in my opinion had been to target a huge number of days... 100 or 180... that made it okay to slip off every now and then from the set rules... i went to a point where i wasnt following the set rules at all... anyway in the last 6 months I've lost some weight... became surprisingly good at swimming... did 15kms twice... missed out on half marathon due to back ache... bought a bicycle moved near to office, gym and pool... hopefully became a lot more fit compared to earlier... planning for a half marathon on october 12th... at the same event where i started running last year... Intensified my regimen in last week... running, cycling in the gym and swimming all one after the other... hoping this would get me the changes in weight that i want... participated in a poetry contest conducted by a local poetry group in this city... my poem was disqualified as i didnt submit a photo which was one of the prerequisites... but they liked the poem and published it on their Facebook page as a special mention... so that was something new... and i wrote it in 3 hours... as i saw it on the last day 3 hours before the closing of the contest... been a nice 9 months or so... not exactly met the weight targets but i am not worried about that... so here is the log... Next target is 30days i want to do it right... so straying this time.. lets see what i can do in 30 days...
