Stay Active Daily

First swim after a very long time. A relaxing 250m in ~20m. Loved it.

Day 2: 2k on the track.

Keep it going.
So blessed to fast in Ramadan.
So blessed to workout.
So blessed to be a Canadian.

I finished the London Marathon virtually on Sunday Oct 3rd, 2021.
الحمداللہ رب العالمین۔

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who donated to my campaign. I'm feeling blessed to be able to raise funds for such an important cause. We raised £613 so far, out of £4,000 that it costs to build a water well for a village, so we raised 15% of a well. Donations are still open. If you would like to donate post race, please see link in bio or message me.

The marathon itself was an interesting experience. I knew I was in the deep when I signed up, was not able to train as much as I would've liked, but still wanted to finish my first ever marathon. One has to start somewhere.

Looking back, my new year's health resolution was to complete a half marathon in 2021. This goal was beyond expectation given my fitness level on Jan 1st. I achieved the goal in April. I thought that maybe it was a fluke. So I got the opportunity again in London Marathon to see if I could really do a strong half, which I did. The first half I completed in 2:41:43. This was already an improvement from earlier. Then I got cramps and second half I walked/limped to the finish at active time of 7:08:35, and total time of 8:47:10.

Huge thanks to my wife who helped me get it done and also organized the finish line and post run party. Just crossing the line, with my family waiting, made it all worth it.

Thanks to for allowing me to be part of for this race.
Thanks to for supporting a no name fan :)
Thanks to all of my family and friends who supported and believed in me throughout this journey.
And of course, All thanks to the Lord who allowed me to start and achieve my health goal this year.

Flat spread for race day. Expecting Light drizzle throughout the run.
Excitement continues.
