March Challenge

March is my most dreaded month of the year. As an accountant I am working 12 hours a day, seven days a week. So, naturally I am not able to fit anything there. I usually just wake up in April into spring like a hibernating bear. But this year I decided to change that. I am trying to finally lose those 10 kg I put on in the last ten years. I managed to lazily and slowly lose some of the kilos already. But I decided to really jump start my weight loss and finally reach my goal.
So I challenged my lazy self and also promised myself to run EVERY SINGLE DAY IN MARCH.
I alternate between distance and interval running every other day. My limits are simple. I have to run at least 10 km for distance and 5 km intervals with speed more than 7.5 km per hour. Lucky for me there was a perfect running weather this past week.
But I am slowly getting sick of my outfit:


So I decided that if I DO finish this challenge, I will reward myself with new running outfit and shoes.
Something like these:

Only thing standing in my way is myself. Wish me luck!
