Another Reason to Run

I can think most clearly when I run. I can relate different events of a life to each other and I think much faster than usual and come up with simple philosophies that I believe makes me a better and a more sensitive person. It also makes me highly immune to pain/struggle and I know both mentally and physically I can take more pain/struggle than an average person. Pain itself is very addictive. If you don't experience it for a while, you start missing it which is why I think I love to run.

The 10k training is coming out well. I am running faster and harder than before and my speed has been improving. I am able to do an semi difficult 10k in 50 minutes and if I push myself, I am able to do it in 45 minutes (after which I want to throw up :)). I have a few more days left in the first cycle of training and I feel great already. Also, cutting back on beer makes me feel a lot lighter and less dehydrated.

At a personal level, I feel like I have lost myself somewhere in the last few months. I see myself incapable of falling in love and I find it hard to trust people. I'll leave this rant for later though.
Just that I don't feel like myself anymore and I hate it.

Training for Sunfeast

I happened to miss training again twice this week. It is time to step up starting today and run the remaining 4 days without over-training.

Today's schedule is a 10k easy run and I hope to get off from work at 6:00 pm to get an hour of running.

30 kms and 3 beers down

So, the train ride was not as pleasurable as I imagined it to be. Too mamis (older women) of my own kind - iyengars, switched on the lights at 2:30 am and started gossiping. Classic Iyengars man!!! I told them to shut up but they would not. They just ignored me and acted as though they were dazed and continued speaking again. The punjabi man next to me spoke to his subordinate for a while and then started snoring. Overall, a bad experience !!!

Thats my reason for not waking up and going on a run.

However, I made up by doing a 10 k in the evening which was immediately followed by drinking two beers and eating some thair satham plus a huge masala dosa. I also officially quit drinking water when I am on field trips - I drink only gatorade.

I also realized that my favorite swear word is God F *@#$%^ da%^...not bad, atleast I have God before those words that are not appropriate during marriages, dinner with parents and on your first date.
