4th day of Ramadan Running

Hello Everyone,

Run was okay!

I have to admit that as the ramadan days increase, the intensity of food coma also increases. See the equation below;

# of Ramadan Days ∝ Food Coma Intensity

As for my diet, I am not eating fried foods. This is a big win for me! I am eating whole grain carbs, lentils, fruits and lots of vegetables. I am consuming meat every other day. On the days I don’t consume meat I just take a protein bar.

In terms of liquid I’m drinking milk, smoothies and lots of water.

Check out my workout below;

Second Day Ramadan Run

My second run was much better than my first. My average pace was around 5.40 min/km.

Iftar Meal ==> date, one glass of milk, mixed fruit, plate of biryani

Sehri Meal ==> Butter Roti, Chicken Gravy, mixed fruit and walnuts, raisens and almonds.

My eating strategy for ramadan is simple. Load up on carbs at Iftar and load up on protein at Sehri.

On to the next fasting day!

First Day of Ramadan Running

After Iftar your body feels numb and tired (food coma) but you must excerise even it is just a brisk walk to the mosque.

What I learned is that you need to portion control your meals after Iftar I am also making sure that I am constantly drinking water no matter how bloated I feel.

My first day of running wasn’t bad. I was feeling a stretch on my leg muscles but otherwise it was okay.

Iftar Meal ==> date, 2 cups of milk, mixed fruit, biryani and yogurt.

Sehri Meal ==> 1 slice of bread with peanut butter, 1 fried egg, smoothie containing milk, yogurt, bannana and blueberries, and 1 bowl of mixed fruit.

 

Its great to be in Scotland!

Throughout my travels in Scotland, I was keen to ask Scottish people one question; are you going to pull another referendum?

Each one of them said “yes” and they are convinced that Scotland is going to separate from the United Kingdom.

My travels throughout Scotland was 90% vacation and 10% diplomacy. Diplomacy in terms of convincing them to stay with the United Kingdom. The phrase “United we stand, divided we fall” is something that I take it to heart and making sure that Scotland stays with the UK means a strong and sovereign Canada.

I urge all my family and friends to visit Scotland and witness its beautiful culture and landscape.

Having said that I would urge you to book a tour with Macbackpackers because their tour guide, transportation and accomdation were excellent.

Safe Travels !

First They Came…

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
