Wow, its been more than a month since I posted an entry! Time flies. I have been running in the interim, the max I have done is a 10k, a few 6 to 7ks and mostly 5k runs. Of late I find that I run on alternate days and not really sticking to the usual early morning routine. Wanted to go back to 5 a.m. start on a more regular basis and did that this morning. Running has been good since Singapore, I did have a break for a week early in Jan as I was down with fever and cold. Been taking it easy and enjoying it. But there is a kind of emptiness without a schedule to drive me...
Actually, I had a schedule for the Auroville half, but sheer confidence (or over confidence!!) that I can wake up and run a half marathon without any serious training kept me sticking to my "maintenance" schedule and I had not done any long runs. But Auroville is off now as I have a work related engagement on that day. A bit of a bummer as its an excellent track and I wanted to beat my pathetic 2:45 effort of last year + run along with Nithya to help her finish her first half marathon. Not meant to be, have to wait for another year now.
I feel I'm running aimlessly these days. Perhaps I am at my running best only when I am training for a marathon?
Should be back to this spot more frequently from now on...
