It was fun to break the 1:40 half marathon and clock my PB in the half marathon. I officially clocked 1:37:51 seconds and finished the race. Running with a partner who is sensible and plays according to the strategy helped. Purushottam helped me with the race. This gives me some confidence to be able to do Mumbai in 4 hours or less.

Three micro improvements were -

Sipped water with salt all day on saturday

Got sufficient rest

Had a bite of a chocolate for every 5k during the race

The goal for Mumbai however, still remains, to make it to the race without an injury.

Ran my first 10k with Rishi and Amrita today after the half marathon on saturday night. Rishi who happens to be the Managing Director of Meru Networks gave me some excellent advise on my career and drew parallels between career and running. The key take away was to be patient and keep working relentlessly.

Another 10k run is planned for tomorrow morning with Meher and Shiraj.
