For the last few days, I have done nothing but to listen to my body. This basically involved complete rest – I would hit the sack by 9:30 pm and wake up only by 8:00 am just in time to get to work. Last week, I played two Frisbee games and made sure that I did not exert myself – played real casually and blamed my bad passes on the wind. This time, luckily, my teammates did not yell at me, mainly because they sucked too.
Running begins again this weekend. However, the plan for the first part of the year is to do shorter distances (5k) around a loop and work on shaving off a few minutes.
Well, the beer count after Bangkok has been one single can of warm beer which was partially wasted. This means that for the last 10 days, I had less than 200 ml of beer – again a personal record. I have given myself 6 beer cards for 2008 – the beer cards will be redeemed for beer of course. The quantity does not matter. Even if I have one beer a card has to be surrendered. The moral hazard is that there will be binge drinking 6 times a year which is still better than wasting 1 training day every week.

Sandy's Sadism
One of the chennai runners, Sandy, helped us condition this morning at besant nagar beach. The training was more like a sprint work-out and it involved the following exercises.
1. Warm up 8 - 10 minutes slow jog. In the sand or on the pavement - the key here is towork up a light sweat.
2. 3 x 60m striding with 2 min recovery.The striding is faster than a run but slower than a sprint. Think of it as 10 - 20% faster than mile pace.
3. StretchingBasic stretches - head to toe. This should last a little less than 10 mins.
4. Conditioning - about 10 - 15 minutes2 x 6 Tuck jumps (also called double knee jumps)2 x 6 Rocket jumps (full squat and explode into a jump and land back into afull squat)2 x 6 lunge jumps2 x 25 m bounding2 x 25 m skips for height2 x 25 m skips for distance
5. 3 x 60 m sprint 2 min recovery6. Cool down - 8 minutes relaxed jogging
The training was pretty intense and resulted in my boss almost catching me nap at work.
Last evening I did a 11km run in 55 min and did some light weights after the run. I still feel really sore after these two workouts and I think I am going to cool off by playing some ultimate frisbee tomorrow early morning.
