Training Day 6: Soul4Souls - Changing the World - One Foot at a Time!

Woohoo!

I walked 1.8 miles today! I am back in the swing of things!

Special thanks to Mo who picked me up from the shopping mall!

And for the record, Mo only purchased one item from Macys!

I participated in the Sole Destination program where I purchased my new shoes from. When I purchase a new pair of shoes and donate my old pair, I recieve $5 off my new pair! Its all part of the charity for Soul4Souls.




This running lark I've got myself into is certainly doing good for others (and not my credit card!)

7 Weeks Left! - 14 June

Seven weeks left, and have raised $1130! Am deeply touched by many of the supportive messages donors have left me! One which touched me deeply is from a previous colleague of mine, Charlene "Dearest Dipa: Thank you for doing this for ALL of us!" It really made me realize that I am doing something! I am making a difference, and its only because of your support! I thank you all!

It has been 2 weeks since I've done any training. The last week I was in England I was working ridiculous hours. This followed a week of jet-lag, and my body recuperating. I have recovered from my jet-lag, kind of... but am ready to rock and roll, and RUN! Roll on Sunday, when I start up again!

Inspiration...

If anyone sees me running like Phoebe, then thats because its so much more fun!

8 Weeks Left! - 7 June (Back in CA)

8 weeks left... It's been a crazy week, working very long hours so I didn't get round to any walks or runs. :(

However, I am back in CA now! Whoohoo! Completely jet lagged, still need to unpack and then start my training again!

One thing I know for sure is that this time, in 8 weeks I'll have completed my race and uploaded a picture of my medal!

Watch this space for updates! :)

Monday's Are Always The Hardest!

Although I walked 2 miles today, I cannot count the miles! These 2 miles are general everyday miles, from the train station to my client site. And since Monday's are the hardest and I've not walked, I had to put something up! (Plus, it gives me a chance to play with HTML code!)


Well, I guess this is the bright side in my car breaking down!

Training Day 5: 1 Miles and a Whopping $200 Donation!

Friday was a long walk day for me, so Saturday was a day of rest! Today, I decided that I must walk at least one mile.

I came back, to find that I had been sponsored $200!

Whoohoo! I have reached 91% of my target!

So, now its time to up my target to $1500.

Where is Adil? Well I know one thing, our $200 sponsor has A-big-dil
