Time: 7 am
Distance: ~10 Km
Duration: 82 min
Place: T.Nagar, Chennai
I walked for 82 minutes in pretty fast pace. There are no
pains anywhere in my legs. Everything seems to be normal and fine. In my next
4.8 Km run on Tuesday I have planned to increase my pace a bit more and extend
my continuous run for at least 3 Km. I shall also mentally prepare for the
same. I planned to tell my brain that any pain any exhaustion any second
thoughts are all due to the comfort level of different physical parts. My brain
should not accept those calls and not to trigger any panic button. My brain
should not mind those calls and just run, run, run and only run. Let me see if
this works out.
Tomorrow is a rest day and hence I shall chalk out route map
for Tuesday in such a way that it will help me to enjoy my run and not to
concentrate on my physical pain and exhaustion. I am practicing Pranayama every
day. I think my nostrils are more efficient in inhaling and exhaling. I hope
this helps me to overcome frequent exhaustion.
Next week’s long run is not really a long run. It is only
for 8 Km and hence I shall postpone my registration after 2 weeks. I am in a
dilemma whether to participate in 10K race or HM race. Let me decide on these 2
weeks later. Right now running a 21 Km race seems to be a Herculean task but at
the same time seeing my steady progress I think I can really make it. It
requires additional efforts in improving my pace, reducing my exhaustion and
preparing me psychologically fit.
I know that I can make it and eagerly looking forward for each and every session. My enthusiasm to run more is increasing day by day but still my ultimate goal of running 42 Km is pretty scary. I pray to God to help me in achieving my “Dream Run”.
