As per the training schedule Monday is a rest day. So I took
this opportunity to collect information about marathon training. Aswin taught
me some warm-up, warm-down and stretching exercises. I have even charted my
route-map for tomorrow’s run using Google Maps. I have decided my apparels for tomorrow. I
have loaded songs in Ipod Shuffle. With these I am all set to prepare for my “Dream
Run”.
I watched Forrest Gump, againJ.
(Read it in the tone of Forrest Gump)
For a novice runner, it takes an average 8 minutes to
complete 1 km. I shall be happy if I can finish my course of 4.8 km in 40
minutes. The world record as of today is a timing of 2:03:38 set by Patrick
Makau of Kenya. Hmm.. can I really touch such a record??? Well.. I don’t want
to think about any such things. For now I just want to run the distance and
train me for a marathon race. I just want to participate and finish a marathon in
a decent time.
Am really eager and looking
forward for tomorrow’s run or jog or walk.
