Guys, thanks for showing up today’s walk was awesome! I loved the weather and the time! 10:00 a.m. on a weekend is much better than 5:00 on a weekday!
Let’s try to ALL make it next week, we need the old Six-K’ers back! Fahad, Yousef, Farah, Neil (1 day hopefully), Fawaz, Abdulla, Sara, if you I forgot anyone I’m truly sorry, but you know what i’m talkin’ about!
Miss You !
I’m sure there are many blogs, sites whatever you want to call it out there that have millions of hits, but it really is amazing that a small blog out of tiny Kuwait in a matter of almost a year get this many site hits, it’s awesome. I love you and i hope you all know were in this together and the word we spread everyday puts a smile on someone face someone in this vast world, we are the voices of those who are quiet, shy, depressed and sad but we also are there hope, chance, aspiration and friends! Let’s all continue in our quest to change someone’s life for the better! I love you all.
Starting this Friday onwards, were going to meet at the Salwa Hall parking lott, just like before (Parking Lott right after Hard Rock Cafe) and please ask Ali Al Ghanim to squeeze us into his VERY busy schedule. 
The weather is getting better, (not today offcourse), so let’s make the best of it and try to get the most of everyone out there! We are going to shift our walks to this schedule !
Fridays at 10:00 a.m. - this way you have enough time for Friday Brunch, Friday Prayers, Friday Gradnma’s House or Friday whatever, we’ll change it in the summer for all of you who are Chalet go’ers !
*there is no walk today, unless you want your lungs filled with dust
Good Morning Jassim
Just to let your fellow club members know, - tomorrow we shall be doing a 21 km walk !!!
We shall start at the scientific center at 8.30 am and finish at KPC in Shuwaikh. We expect to finish at 1.20 pm, which includes a stop for coffee/bathroom.
As usual, all walkers can leave their cars in the Science Center car park as there will be a lift back from KPC to the Science Center.
These are the last of the really, beautiful weather days, temperatures are going to start rising from the end of this month.
Would love to see lots of 6-K ers!!!
Happy National and Liberation Days to all your club members.

It was tough, i’m still sore ! but I did it, we started off walking to Marina Cresent then Khaled and I went running, we ran and ran and ran non stop till we hit KFC for a bathroom break, we left and continued running till Khaled had a problem with his calf, I continued till I hit Soug Sharq which is where I nearly collapsed so I went in to the fish market and grabbed a banana and an apple with two bottle of water, I started to walk and run, walk and run till I got to the end point! I honestly didn’t think i was going to be able to walk it let alone run it, at the end of the day i’m still a heavy guy ! but my oh my you should see the smile on my face and how proud I felt.
Next time hopefully I can run the whole thing without any walking !!
It has been such a long time since we really talked, it seems like the distance keeps getting wider and wider but every time we do get the chance to cross paths and say Hello it feels like you never left.
I wanted to say that you are very much missed but never forgotten, people still ask about you every time I go out, weather be it at Six-K meets or me shopping at Tods (you know who). Your Kuwait misses you dearly, you were a friend to many and a brother to all, life will definitely cross our paths again, hopefully in March or I’m going to hunt you down, until then my friend, Viva Las Vegas!
I was asked by some students at KU to participate in a class project that they were working on, and i agreed. The short movie is called Carpe Diem and they just uploaded it to YouTube. I honestly have not seen it yet, i hate seeing myself speak, so .. it’s all yours! [link]
Good Morning All you Walkers!
This coming Saturday, February 9th we shall be doing another long 21 km walk. We shall start at the Scientific Center at 8.30 am and hopefully will count all the restaurants on the other side (the non-sea side) of the road. We shall stop for a coffee/bathroom break at a restaurant of your choice. I shall take everyone back to their cars in my ‘ambulance’ as before! The walk should take 3hours 30 minutes with a 30 minute coffee break so you should be back at your cars by 1pm.
If you feel the walk is too long for you please arrange to have someone collect you from the Gulf road when you get tired.
This is the message sent to me by Astrid ! I’m going to be there, it will be fun!

Today we will meet at our usual time 5:30 !
Just got back from work, ran from Bayan to Mishref (4 miles in Mishref) and back, total run 7.3 kilometers.
Lunch, was 4 small skewers of grilled shrimp, two spoon-fulls of steamed rice, mixed leave salad with a balsamic vinaigrette.
Drink: Diet 7 !
Obviously i won’t be posting this daily, but i will make major updates! who has taken a new challenge too ?!
Worked out chest & biceps (high intensity training) at 9 and left to join Faisal for a Salad at 10:30.
I’m on a roll.
Recently I have been on this life craze, I don’t know how to describe it or define it but it’s plain simplicity I have been eating like never before. It all started when I hurt my shoulder and quit going to the gym, then this annoying weather came in and running was not an option mix that with basically nothing socially exciting to do here besides the “let’s do dinner” slogan you hear from your friends daily = Jasem at 92 Kilos.
Yes it’s true, I finally got weighed after years of not, and relying on my jeans scale I am at a astonishing 92 Kilos and i’m pissed off!
Yesterday I started my quest, this is my goal to loose as much weight as I can before my 27th birthday (March 14) and toning up (lifting weights) so I enjoy the same confidence that I did when I was in better form before. It’s amazing how easy it is to let go, but trust me once you’ve gotten to learn how your body functions and how you will overcome your problems you can always fix whatever that needs fixing.
Join me in my quest, let’s set goals together and hopefully inspire each other, I will share with you my everyday detail.
Here’s what I did yesterday:
50 Minutes of running burned 700 calories.
Chest & Biceps.
Are you in?
I remember mom & dad and I’m sure you too have heard it over and over again “wear something warmer it’s cold out there”, it used to piss me off like you wouldn’t believe, as if I didn’t know better that they really had to remind me! I used to never believe that you can actually catch a cold from just walking with “not enough” layers in the winter, until 3 days ago.
