Time: 6 am
Distance: 4.8 Km
Duration: 46 min 14 sec
Place: Electronic City, Bangalore
I woke up with more pain in my thighs. For an instance I even
thought of dropping the plan to run today. However due to my interest for
marathon I planned to give a try and see. After doing warm-up I felt a bit
comfortable. After I started jogging I did not feel much pain. I was
comfortable enough to jog. To my surprise I jogged continuously for 1.2 Km. I
felt really happy by seeing the improvement in my stamina. After that I felt
more exhaustion so I started doing more walking than jogging.
I reached the end of course at 46 minutes and 14 seconds.
This means today I took 2 more extra minutes than yesterday to complete the
same distance. Well, I am not much disappointed as I initially thought that I
could not even walk today. Felt really good after seeing myself jogging
continuously for 1.2 Km.
After reaching office my legs started to pain more. My foot,
thighs and calf-muscles were very tight and I could not walk normally. It took some
effort to climb stairs. I felt the pain even during the night and I kind of
decided not to strain myself and take rest tomorrow. But according to the
schedule I should go for another 4.8 Km tomorrow. But at the same time,
whenever I do warm-up I get some relief. So let me try the same tomorrow morning
but I am really doubtful because of this pain.
I had a word with Aswin today about my progress. He reminded
me of certain exercises to get rid of pain which I forgot to do. Tomorrow I
should not forget to do these exercises as my pain is worsening. I told him
about my first day’s experience and he replied that my stamina is real bad.
Then I understood that though it is good not to strain myself too much I should
at least try not to fall into a comfort zone. Tomorrow I shall try to push
myself to more continuous jogging. But on the first hand I am even doubtful if
I can walk tomorrow. Let us see.
I prayed that I should finish this training course
successfully.
