Time: 6 am
Distance: 4.8 Km
Duration: 34 min 5 sec
Place: Electronic City, Bangalore
I started my run with an extra pace but not consciously. I
could run in this pace for around 500 meters after which I run the rest 2 Km in
jogging pace continuously. I felt exhaustion but this time I tried not to walk
and pushed myself to run continuously for 2.4 Km.
Today I tried to inhale and exhale without keeping my mouth
open. By doing so I was able to run continuously. I observed that if I exhaled
through my mouth I am getting exhausted easily. I am not sure if this is a
correct procedure to breathe during a run. Anyways I have planned to learn
Pranayama from Akshaya tomorrow so that my breathing will be even during the
run which will help me to achieve long continuous runs.
I finished the course one minute earlier than yesterday.
Looks like I am improving by one minute as each day progresses. I am not sure
if this is a good progress or not, but I feel it very encouraging as I started
this training with around 45 minutes for 4.8 Km. I have made a huge progress so
far which is very exciting to see.
I still have that pain in the front bone in the leg but it
is comparably less today. And regarding the pain near the toe in left-leg, I
think it has almost healed.
I am eagerly looking forward for Saturday’s long run of 11.2
Km. It looks really a mammoth task but I am really excited to do it. I pray to
God to help me finish the course successfully. This time I have planned to do
my long run in Marina Beach, Chennai. I am so very excited about that as it is
going to be really a wonderful experience to run along the sea-shore of Marina
Beach. I am just worried a bit about Chennai’s humidity factor. This time’s
long-run is going to be hard which is going to test my stamina and strength. I
am going to take it easy and will not try to set any personal best. I should
make sure that I will not get dehydrated and keep myself calm and steady.
I am nervously excited for Saturday’s long run. It is going
to real hectic stuff and so I have planned to relax completely tomorrow. Let us
see how it works out.
