Auroville Half Mary

The Auroville half mary is coming up on Feb 16 and 37 folks + from Chennai runners are planning to participate in the event.

I have not been training for this event exclusively. The main problem is I cannot motivate myself to wake up early in the morning just to run. Most nights are spent watching oscar nominations from a pirated cd hub that I discovered close to home.

However, I put in 1 hour runs in the evenings after work and spend 20 minutes stretching/strengthening after. So, despite not training exclusively for the event, I am putting in my speed work, lsd's and the required mileage everyday. I also maintain a healthy diet intake with some recessions once a week where I consume about 5 litres of beer in less than 2 and a half hours. I call this living a balanced lifestyle.

The plan this week is to get a two hour run this evening, a 40 minute run tomorrow morning and another 2 hour run on saturday. The boys are coming down on saturday night and i would not recover from that high intensity speed workout with a combination of LSD before sunday evening. Most sunday morning will be spent toggling between espn, star sports, ss music and discovery channel with spurts of passing out on my couch.
