Midnight Marathon, The Palace of Ilusions and Training

I wish the midnight marathon was on sunday morning instead of saturday night. Who runs at midnight? Since I have been running three years in a row, I think I will do it this year as well. A significant part of the group is doing the full marathon but a few of us are sticking to the half marathon to get our personal best timings. There is a full marathon that we are supposed to run next month anyway.

Running has been fairly consistent for about 4 days a week. We do endurance runs with a mix of strides in the hope of increasing speed. We do another 4 days a week for weights for the legs to take the impact. Helps me feel good and fit.

The book – Palace of Illusions is really good and talks about the Mahabaratha from a Woman's point of view. It is hard not to fall in love with Draupadi after you start reading the book. She has transformed into my favorite Mahabaratha character.
