Target 50K / Week:

For a serious runner under a marathon training, this would seem too little, but for a novice like me, to do a 50KM per week would be something like a dream. I have done this almost a year before. But now, with absolutely no training for about 9 Months and overweight of about 10Kg's, being married and a baby on its way, I know it will be huge task.

Still, I have started running positively yesterday. I did a slow, small distance run of about 3Km near MCC and waited to see whether I would do it again today before writing a blog entry. Good that I went to the run today too, 1KM more than what I did yesterday.

What I am planning to do now is to track the running distance and timing I do online through my blog and google docs. Let us see how good my determination is.

Adrenaline Rush...

I did a uphill training in chennai today. Wondering where is the hill in chennai to run, we run over the bridges and call it uphill training ;). I ran like hell today.t Initially I was running slowly till I reached the bridge and then I pushed myself to the limit. It would be the fastest I would have ever run. My fellow runners when they saw me sprinting were cheering aloud. I did the speed slow routine couple of times over the RK Salai bridge and the Alwarpet bridge. When I reached the endpoint and stopped, I could feel the blood pumping in my head. Wow.... that felt so good.

I remember when I was in school we used to play a game called Kings and Queens, where the player with a ball have to hit the fellow players with it. We used to run like hell to avoid getting hit by the ball. Usually at the end of the game, I used to feel the blood pumping in my head. After so long I felt that today. Feels great.
