Pranjal Singhai — Initially Skeptical overall happy ·...

I started jogging two months ago. Initially even one km was too much for me. Gradually I am able to complete 5 km in practice.

To motivate myself I registered for alteast one racing event each month.

Previous event had very poor experience. There were no bathroom arrangements, distances were highly inaccurate etc

In this event I was told that they don’t have XXL size which I chose at time of registration

I was told to be contented with XL size. Due to previous bad experience, I had very few hopes with the event. Today I was happy to see event was well organised. There were volunteers, proper water and toilet facilities. Distance was accurately measured.

On personal side I felt very elated to complete 3km distance with ease owing to my consistent practice of two months.

I feel more confident and motivated to carry on this journey. In june I found myself to weigh 104 kg and was very alarmed. Now I weigh around 91 kg and quite happy to see how my body is adapting. In future I hope to compete in 10km and more distances!
