Running in 2010...

I have been thinking for a while that i should be writing about my running journey but never got to it. Today seems to be the day, as i am off work, down with a bad cold, tired of sleeping - so tooking this task...

The first nine month of 2010 have been eventful for me....It all started with training for the Auroville Marathon 2010, my first, a difficult one for me, some how managed to complete took me a good 5:40 to complete this trail marathon - my first goal acheived.

Took some time off to review my running goals and settled for half marathon but with a focus on improving time..The season started of with Sunfeast 10k and the Runnershigh training was tough - with a lot of tempo runs - but we did see some improvement in speed. Come race day, we are all off the starting block but with very little space to run - the crowd was too much, however, did the 10k in 55m (not much different from last year).

The next challenge comes two weeks from now - 19-Sep - the Kaveri Trail Marathon - plan to do a half marathon and having been training hard for a better timing and hope the weather is kind to runners on the race day.

Wish me luck.
