August 2019 Challenge (with s) - updated

(3-minute read)


I was skeptic at first if i can achieve my August Apple Watch Goal the day i saw it last August 1. I couldn't believe it's a distance tracking challenge - 88.6 miles!!! Skeptic because it's the wet season in the Philippines, neither i have a gym membership at the moment nor a covered court where i can run or walk or to pace a distance at least.

Yes - that's 143 kilometers in total for the whole month. So i have to depend mostly during non-rainy days where i can go outside to run and jog either inside our village or afterwork and run the miles in Daang Reyna.




Aside from the unpredictable weather which i must seek to perform my walk, run and jog exercise, i have to consider my availability - it was at this month also where a whole lot of work-related projects eat my time before and after-work hours; not to mention that weekends have also been spent to render extra, just so these work-related activities are transitioned smoothly.

Some friends have been sharing their side remarks - "do you still have personal life?" - I DO. I make it a point that my church duties too, aren't sacrificed; it was great we have multiple schedules where i can flex and see through the completion of my priorities.

So, i checked today my remaining distance to complete, and i'm left with roughly 6 miles. I'm heading towards positivity that i would make it.

One of the reasons why i have to blog it, to see the momentum run continuously, that will serve me a reminder to finish this task, no matter how challenged-ly difficult it may see. I have to finish it!


I shall post the award as soon as this race is over.

Look at that:

(PS: I wanted to thank my select few friends who sent their gifts and spent some quality time with me on my birthday - pretty much elated by the short but well-conversed company at different levels; until next year)
