Yesterday, I came across a call for registrations for "Run The Rann", a trail marathon held in the Rann of Kutch, Gujarat and of course I had to read more on it...
The trail snakes through the arid terrains of the salt desert and runners will have to put themselves through limit-testing conditions to get to the finish line. Some of the photos in the gallery from past editions of the run look beautiful. The Desertscape and the promise of views of the ancient ruins of the Indus Valley Civillization made me want to put this one on my definitely-must-run-someday list. (The list is pretty new and currently has only 3 runs on it). Normally, I would have wanted to register right away and start counting down the days to the big run but these days I'm not feeling very upbeat about my running and hence the list.
I'm totally not happy about having to take my training down a notch and not running as frequently as before is causing a disconnect between me and my running. There are so many running events happening all around leading up to the Chennai Marathon and it sucks that I cannot participate. It is also the Marathon season now and there are races taking place almost every week. I would have loved to be part of the Bangalore Marathon (just for the experience - I heard from people who went that it was not well organized). Sigh! I keep having to tell myself that there is always next year...
