Hey everyone, I’ve done it. I’ve gone and signed up for my first marathon. You would think I am completely crazy. I’ve actually been mulling this idea to do something challanging and for myself for a while now. It seems the last few years I have been so caught up making babies and looking after the - that I totally forgot about myself. I see myself in the mirror and I am like - is this the EKTA I once knew; the girl who could get into clothes at store without even trying them???? Hello, Wake up call - Its now or never. Can I really run the way I used to ??? YES - I CAN DO THIS!
Anyways here are some of the reason I have decided to take on this challange:
So I hit 30, and got a herniated dis. It was such a downer being on bed rest for 2 weeks, and then it dawned on me - is this how I wanna spend the rest of my life??? Feeling old, and so out of shape..Where was the Ekta I knew 10 years ago??? I need to get back in shape and feel more confident about myself. I hate not knowing what to do withself and this will channel all my mental and physical energies. I can be and AM a fit athletic person, and with the right training and attitude, I CAN DO THIS
Hubby Saswata has really never seen a competitve side of me, he loves me totally for all that I am and for all that I ever will be..I want him to see me at and the finsish line and say yeah - thats my wife :)) He is always so supportive of me and my ambitions, I am so lucky.
I was such a good athelete in school/college, well more of a wasted talent I would say. My dad always said if I party too much I was'nt going anywhere "Wasted days and wasted nights" he would say.. He could'nt have been more true. So for the events I played back in college, my family was always there cheering me on, they are my biggest fans - This one is for you DAD!!
I want to contribute to a cause. AIDS is a worldwide epidemic, and is one of the leading causes of death in many nations in this world. It is also unfortunately tied in the minds of many to prejudice - too many people believe it is a disease of bad morals, or even a judgment. I want to do my share to support research, treatment and education with the hope of one day eliminating this disease.
In the coming days, as I learn more about the program, you’ll find links here to donate to my race effort. I encourage everyone who cares about or is inspired by ANY of my goals to help me out in whatever way you can, whether that is in the form of donations, going for a run together, or just cheering me on as I work towards this goal. Thank you all so much!
