run a marathon

Ran the midnight half marathon today….race started at 12 midnight and came back home at 4:30 am. i took about 2 hrs 4 mins 35 sec. measured with my ipod nano. It was 2.1 km stretch and we had to take 5 rounds of the road. The timings I took for each round were:
Lap 1: 13:24+ 11:53 = 25:17
Lap 2: 12:30 + 12:19 = 24:49
Lap 3: 12:18 + 12:58 = 25:16
Lap 4: 24:46
Lap 5: 12:36 + 11:48 = 24:24
I tried my best to run with utmost stamina the last lap. I guess I am not happy with the timings :) ... hoping for better in next one.
(and yeah stopped twice in between to drink juice and water)

Going for half marathon on 12 dec. with my best buddy :)) ... also anticipating someone there…lets hope she comes …planning to stop after half run to drink water to avoid dehydration. But also it would be chilling outside, running during midnight…anyways lets see what happens.

For next time, my aim will be below 50mins. but not disappointed…i hoped anything near 55. And also the rank in bangalore is 113, have to also improve the rank for the next time, by the way i can be glad 2nd female runner timed 52’30” :).

It was awesome experience….and got to know there r many others better than me…and also met a b’ful person there….still waiting for finding the total time I took….but hoping it would be under 60 mins.

yesterday, there was an intense squall at evening, so couldn’t go for a run. and day before, was feeling a bit exhausted, so didn’t run. so today, i had to run a big one…i am satisfied with 18…although i initially thought for just 15 rounds, but then a positive feeling for covering 6.6km took me to 17…and then i felt i could do one more round. :))

goal was for 20 rounds, but it was pitch dark on the ground, and was exhausted. will try next time. :)

ran today 17 X 400m. :))

first time ran 16.5 rounds of 400m. i.e 6.6Km. will increase to 17 for the next time.

This time I made 15.25 rounds and am trying to increase it daily. :)

on 28 march…feels goood
