The week ended 20^th of December was a cool week.

S-health states that I average 14,511 daily steps while I set for myself a daily target of 10,000 steps.

That is a cool improvement but the coolest thing had to do with the fact that yours truly broke two records in the week under review.

My fitness goal was to do a 10k under 1hr 10 minutes.

On Saturday the 19^th my Nike + app recorded that I did a 10k on 1hr 10minutes sharp.

Did I mention that the Thursday before that had me break my 5k record? Yes… I did. 32 minutes according to Nike+ app all downloaded from the Android store on my Samsung A5.

There was a time I was unable to run 5k straight. Now I see myself completing this training plan and jumping straight to training for a half marathon.

Did I mention that excited was an understatement to the feeling I felt when records fell? Did I mention that I thank the good Lord for keeping me healthy all this while? Did I mention that some of my running peeps are struggling with illness and injury but at this time, ‘Idorun’… All the time the Lord is good…

I also had the opportunity to chill for 10 minutes with an individual I met through Truppr. It was less than 10 minutes but when Adeola ‘Zeus’ Elijah looks at you and tells you that you have lost weight… you definitely have to take it as a compliment and you also have to thank the Lord for the Truppr Running community.

Now I ask myself why I run… To break records and keep fit seem like ends in themselves. How will my running affect the life of many people that I know…? My neighbors; friends and family?

These are just some of the things that flowed through my mind every day since the beginning of last week.

May this week of Christmas be injury and illness free for all my fellow trupprs and may we remember that Christ is the reason for the season.
