Running Right Before Iftar
Yesterday, I ran right before iftar and it was extremely challenging. I am used to gobbling down tons of water, but this time I had to run the 40 minutes without drinking any. And of course, it was the end of the fasting day so thirst was at its peak and energywas at its lowest. Hiro didn’t seem to mind it as much, but man I was ready to drink out of a puddle .
On Tuesday, we are going to run after taraweeh. We should be better hydrated, have more energy, and our iftar should be digested by then. Besides, I think it’s a healthier and better time to run. My father pointed out that running with a dehydrated body can be taxing on the kidneys and the last thing we want to do is to damage our kidneys while doing something aerobic and beneficial.
Something Funny: I went to Mother’s Market to pick up some stuff from there for Iftar and they have this little deli section there. I started tasting things to see if I should buy them. About 4 or 5 samples into my Mother’s journey, I remembered that I was fasting. That was an amazing and unbelievable gift from Allah, walhamdulilLah! 
Oh and the day gets better! Hiro washed the dishes afterwards. Thanks Hiro! I will try and convince Angie that I did it, so let’s keep this our little secret. 
Almost a quarter of the fund raising goal has been reached ma sha’ Allah! keep it up!
