Arvind, you are inspiring. Inspite of getting injured and needing physiotherapy, you chose to walk the entire marathon. That’s huge. A lot of people would have given up. I am sure you will soon achieve your ambition of running all the way. Am glad you found me.

Great site Avni. My first time here and well worth finding you.

Your post reminds me of how earlier this year I started training in Janaury for the London marathon. I did too much training too quickly and by early February had sore knees!

Of course I had over-trained and in the end needed physiotherapy and 4 weeks rest.

Rather than pulling out of the London marathon, I walked the whole way and finished in 7 hours 25 minutes:-)

I finally achieved one of my lifelong ambitions – now to run it one day!

Hey Avni,

Great post and here’s a little something that not many people do but is a very simple step. Just as you may put an event or meeting into your calendar; why not close up a chunk of time as ‘me time’ and so nothing gets in the way of that. It’s a very simple technique and very effecitive in making sure you get rest.

Great Blog.

Ah! Jannie, you are lucky. I can’t even count for times when I work myself sick. It’s as if I use my future energy to help me with current project. And once project is over, I feel the drain and strain and just want to sleep.

Kaushik, the plan is great. I keep reading so many success stories with this plan, it’s encouraging and good to know that for so many people this plan made running possible.

Walter, I agree. Balance is everything seems to be universally true. Nothing in extreme is good for you.

Nilesh, am glad you liked the post. To not take good stuff for granted is a constant reminder we all need.

JD, I agree. A mind not pushed becomes too dull and boring. There’s no fun in that.

Jen, you and me seem similar in this department. I too go overboard in things I love. At times like these, mandating basic things in life is the only way I manage to keep things balanced and not harm some other area of my life.
