What is the purpose behind the passion for running a 10K @EmpowerRun2020 @Accenture 16 Feb 2020 by @iamabhilashdesai

Hello Everyone,

This is about my 10K Run at EmpowerRun 2020 organised by Accenture and the purpose behind the passion to run for this cause.

"Passion with Purpose" was the tag line.

My Purpose: Empowerment and Health (We were asked to fill out "I am running for ___________")

We must empower as many people as possible. Help the needy in every ay possible.

We need to understand the importance of health and that we cant really work on it ater we complete all our responsibilities and "get settles" in life.

I myself hadn't done anything concrete to improve my health before 2020.

I used to walk a few Kilometers as a part of commute and go on treks occasionally.

Now I try and do almost everyday (Breathing exercises and SuryaNamaskaar).

I started with just 1 minute of Pranayam, 1 Kilometer running and a few exercises in January 2020.

I have "unhealthy days" some times, But that does not stop me from trying again.

I have prioritized health and constantly strive to be better.

How can one start:

I suggest you start now, Now meaning now at this very second. Stop watching the video or reading this.

Pause and then just take 1 step in the direction of good health for you. (However small, It still counts).

Go out for a walk, jog or run. Hit the Gym.

Try Yoga, check out "Swami Ramdev" YouTube channel, Isha Foundation etc.

Fitness blender for strength and fitness etc. (All these are free).

Try Suryanamaskaar and Pranayam (Max ROI exercises to do).

I did the 10 K run today in 1 hour 7 minutes and 1 second. That not a good timing. But that's okay.

The little discipline that I have built as a part of preparation for this run is worth more than the Medal I received.

The video has me speaking about the day and my pictures taken from Jan to 16 Feb.

It also has a pull up video (Try Pull ups). It was and still is one of the hardest exercises for me.

All that said, I hope this post has inspired you to focus on your health if you are not already.
