Runner's High

Week 5 of my 15 week running program: Ran 8.2 kms in 50 minutes. Only a matter of a month or so before I can attempt 10 kms at a stretch - and then all I'll need to do is speed training!

I started running after an 'inspired' attempt at last year's Pune Marathon 10 km race. Well I didn't intend to run 10kms, a friend and myself, we intended to run for the 5 km AIDS Charity Run; but we took a wrong turn and ended up in the route for the 10km race. After finding out the the real finish line was 5 km further away, we did what any young blooded runner would do - run the remaining 5 kms!

That day I think I managed it in 1 hour, 15 minutes.

Today was a good run. After a long time I felt the second wind (Anaerobic Glycolysis) kicking in, after about 5km into it. Satisfied!
