183 miles to Times Square.
 
Its 183 miles from my home to times square. On an average if i work out 25 miles per week, it would take me around 8 weeks to reach there. And another 8 weeks to come back from there.
 
I am thinking of doing this 16 week marathon to nyc. Every week would be calculating the remaining distance. Will have a reverse day counter and reverse miles counter and a progress chart to keep track. I will also create a nice graphical tool showing progress for the next 16 weeks.

Lessons Learnt.

 

1. Making better food choices all the time. If you keep on not eating/starving you will end up making bad food choices.

2. Eating at right time, anything post 7pm is bad for the body.

3. Milk is amazing (calcium(bones), Vitamin D and Potassium(blood pressure)) not to mention it makes you feel full.

4. Hydrating your body with as much water as possible.
