Fasting 22.5km Running done π !!! - The month of fasting is the perfect opportunity to test your endurance limits of patience, hunger, thirst, language, emotions, and running distance π !!! - My only target for this month was to run 21.1+km in less than 3hrs35min π !!! And the mission was successful π !!! - I slept for 4hrs at night and woke up for sehri (breakfast) π !!! I ate just a quarter of paratha with Kabab & keema, yogurt, husk, channay metha, and just two glasses of water around 4 am π !!! - Just after 2hrs, my stomach got all empty, and I was starving and then I went to sleep π !!! I tried sleeping but I couldn't, the target was haunting me and there was just too much mental pressure π !!! When I finally slept, I woke up with a nightmare and in that, I saw that I couldn't complete my fasting half marathon π !!! - Finally, I took off around 3:50 pm and it was very hot and humid π !!! I lost so much sweat in the starting kilometers and with every passing kilometer, my speed dropped, and the difficulty kept on increasing π !!! The sunbeams felt so much torture to me and I am now very much tanned π !!! But I was strongly determined to achieve my goal π !!! - At around 21.1km mark, I broke my fast with a glass of water, and I ran my way back to home with 22.5km of total distance π !!! I rang the bell, and I couldn't stand at the moment, so I just sat next to my car, and when my mom saw this scene, she got so much worried and tears started to come in her eyes π !!! And I just drank a cup of roohafza and I felt quite full and then I didn't eat or drink anything else π !!! - For around 3hours, my head felt spinning, lightheaded, and dizzy, I was just lying here and there, but then it got fine π !!! And then I ate my light dinner meal of a few bites of rice with kabab π !!! I got a big rash on my left thigh due to the power bank's abrasion and this was the only pain in my body π !!! - Compared to last year's fasting half marathon, this felt quite easy, unchallenging, and speedy π !!! I think I would rate this 7/10 on my efforts scale π !!! - - - - - #mrhappy #universeofmrhappy #runningwhilefasting #happyramadan #runnersofinstagram #runners (at Karachi, Pakistan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_gigjJDg3b/?igshid=1wm22tmkn7hpu
