Week 3: Day 3


Time: 6 am              

Distance: 6.4 Km           

Duration: 45 min and 29 sec           

Place: T.Nagar, Chennai



I started the jog in a pretty easy pace. I did a non-stop jog for 3.5 Km which is .5 Km progress and also .5 Km less than the goal which I had set yesterday. So it evens out.
I completed the first 4.8 Km at 33 min which is again a progress of half a minute compared to yesterday.

I literally ran in the final 1 Km (with a short walk in between) which helped me to complete the course in 45 min and 29 sec. I am very happy that I was able to run at a good pace. I feared that my legs will not help me to run but it proved the other way.

I did not take a water-break during the entire 6.4 Km course and I was also pretty comfortable without it. This proves that my stamina and strength has increased.

Overall it’s a very good progress for me accomplishing various targets in a single day. Still in a corner my mind says that I have to find a way to reduce my lap time even more. Personally I am very much satisfied and I am looking forward for more action.

Since I literally ran the final 1 Km my calf-muscle pained a bit but it disappeared after stretching. I felt very sleepy almost the whole day. I think I should go early to bed from tonight.

Tomorrow is a 4.8 Km course and I planned to jog in an easy pace for the first 3.8 Km and run for the rest 1 Km. Also I planned to increase my non-stop jog to 4 Km. Let me see how far I can achieve these.
