Touch wood!

One week has morphed into four, and so far I’m still looking for that solitary cause for complaint :-)

While I’ve not stuck to the schedule as closely as I would’ve liked, I still managed between 3-4 runs on most weeks. There were significant ups and downs (significant for me, that is!) like the day I started out with all the enthusiasm in the world aiming to run 60 min continuously but couldn’t even do 10 (down!!) and the day I completed 9km in 50 min without too much of a fuss (up!!), but overall its been a fun ride.

Some pleasant (and much hoped for) surprises included the wife remarking “You look so malnourished” when she saw me at the airport after a 3 week trip to Bangalore. Of course, under the circumstances I’m taking “malnourished” to mean “a wee bit slimmer than when I saw you last”.

Nowhere even near becoming an exercise addict (endorphin junkie??) yet, but I’m kind of approaching the stage where I start to feel very guilty on the days I miss out on a scheduled run, and I run up the office stairs extra hard to make up for my sins.

Started to do a few small variations to the regular run, like one session of hill-training and two sessions of interval running thus far. Tomorrow I’m going to try out a little version of Fartlek. Was supposed to do it today, but again woke up late!

25 days left! Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping I don’t injure myself somehow in the interim!
