Time: 6 am
Distance: 8 Km
Duration: 57 min and 6 sec
Place: T.Nagar, Chennai
I started off pretty well. I could run non-stop only for 3.5
Km. I felt too much of exhaustion and it sweated like rain. Not able to figure
out why I felt so much exhausted. Maybe because I did not do Pranayama for
couple of days. I think I should do Pranayama every day without fail. I started
the jog-walk combination. In between I ran for around 2 Km.
I did not feel any compelling thirst during the entire
course but I feel that I could have done better had I got a water-break. I
finished the entire course in 57 min and 6 sec which is a decent finish.
After going home I felt burning sensation in my nipples.
After Googling I found that this phenomenon is called as Runner’s Nipple which
happens due to the friction between the nipples and T-shirt with sweat. Next
time I planned to wear a band-aid during my long run. Let me see if I feel the
same during the short-runs next time and take necessary measures.
Good thing is that there was no specific pain in my legs.
