For more than a week after the Mumbai Half Marathon, I lazed around, not running at all. After a few days I began to feel antsy, jittery wanting to go out and run.
Finally two weeks ago, I got out and ran 7.5 K that week. The first 2.5K came at an easy pace completing in 16:40 minutes. I was glad to be back at KNP seeing the familiar faces and breathing the clean air :-). The next day, I ran 2.5K in a reasonably fast 15:39 minutes, better than the last day. I rounded off the week with another 5 laps in KNP this time taking 17:40 minutes - did not warm up, felt really lazy and I guess it shows in the timing :-)
This week I have run two days already, running 6 laps each day. The first outing was worth 19:32 minutes and today's outing cost me 19:22 minutes with an "It's My Life by Bon Jovi" fuelled first lap of 2:42 minutes
I am slowly tapering back. Right now, there is no event on the horizon which I have to start training for. The first event in any near future is the Ahmedabad Run for Life Marathon which is targetted for June 8th. The only information I have on this is via an Orkut group. Weather in Ahmedabad around early June is generally blistering hot (around 40 degrees) and I am concerned. I would like to run this, but we will see
