Today was my last run before the Half Marathon. Over the next couple of days its going to be just light exercise & lots of stretching to get the body rested and ready for running the 21.1k. Maybe I'll even get a good foot massage done today.
My outdoor runs are usually in and around the Nungambakkam area where I live. Kothari Road & Sterling Roads are nice stretches of road to run on and there are usually other runners and walkers out in the early morning which is nice. I plan a circuit of about 2 to 2.5k before I start a run and do about 3 to 5 rounds of it depending on the target distance. Sometimes when I feel the need to change it up a bit, I explore other lanes and new routes but mostly this is my go-to route. When I need a longer circuit I use College Road & Haddows Road both of which are nice long stretches. Whatever the route though, I have to be very careful that I'm facing the traffic so as not to get run down from behind! :-). And yes there is traffic even at 5:00 am,
The Half Marathon will be run in and around the Besant Nagar and Adyar Area like last time - still waiting for the race route map.
3 Days to Go!!!
