Week 5: Day 5


Time: 10:30 pm             

Distance: 4.8 Km           

Duration: 35 min and 17 sec           

Place: Electronics City, Bangalore



It was a tough running session. I was able to run non-stop for 2.4 Km. After which my right knee started to pain intensely. Somehow I managed to finish the course in 35 minutes which is not at all anywhere close to my normal finish time.

I am so disappointed. My knee pain has been the cause of misery. I was almost limping after the running session. Now I am so worried if I would be able to do a long run on Sunday for 16 Km. If I have to take a week long rest then it means I might have to forget about Kaveri Trail HM.

After doing warm-down and stretching exercises I felt a bit better. I prayed to God to help me get out of this disappointing situation and somehow give me the magic to continue my training session without any hindrances. Let me see how things go tomorrow during the rest day. If there is a good improvement in my knee then I shall continue further, else I planned to take a complete rest for one week to help my knee to heal quickly and thereby does not cause any serious internal injuries.
