Week 1: Day 5: REST

I woke up with relatively no pain. I felt as if I want to run but I should follow the schedule. So I took a complete rest. No exercises, no walking, no jogging, nothing.

I went through various marathon events that are yet to happen in the near future. I am considering participating in Kaveri Trail Half Marathon race which is scheduled on 16th September.  As per my schedule I should be ready for a half marathon by 9th September.  Hence am planning to juggle those two weeks such that my training schedule does not get affected.

I feel very excited as well as nervous to participate in a half marathon. I would like to finish 26K in 1:30 hours. But that is way too optimistic. I shall come to know about my best possible finish time after couple of weeks. I will register for the event only after seeing my performance. Also I should be lucky enough to get registered before it gets sold out.

As of now I am really excited about tomorrow’s 9.6K course. I have already decided my route and I really hope I get more stamina and strength to tackle such a long run. I pray to God that I should finish the course successfully.
