Day#20 - 29 Days Challenge

  Hi again everyone !! This is yet another update on the 29 Days Challenge and today marks the day number 20 in this challenge in which I chose to make running as part of my routine for gaining back my long-lost stamina and for better health in general .

The distance increase rate between my initial run (1.36 km) and my most recent run (2.40 km) is 76.5%. The total time run is more than 60 minutes .  Average of 12 minutes per run. I’m logging my run sessions through the Huawei Health mobile application . While the application is great, one thing it doesn’t take into account is the wind direction ** trust me there is a difference if you are running against the wind 😬 ** . I’m more or less satisfied with these stats given that I had to squeeze the run sessions into my daily routine which co
