I had a really nice training run this morning. The weather was cooler than usual, I felt well hydrated and energetic and managed to push out a 12k when my goal was only 11.5k.
I took my new favourite route down Nungambakkam High Road, Cathedral Road and RK Salai all the way up to Marina Beach and back. I was hoping to run with some of runners from Nungambakkam Nitros but I guess my timing was off and I couldn't spot anyone from the group.
I enjoy these weekly long runs - I am even hoping on increasing them by 2k every week as opposed to 1.5k so in a very small way I can increase my training miles. I've hardly been sticking to my workout schedule these past couple of weeks and with just about 7 weeks to go before race day, I better get back on track. I'm also thinking of signing up for the Dusk to Dawn Night Marathon (10k) which will take place 2 weeks before the Chennai Marathon and will make for a nice taper run before the big run.
Not that my feet are back to normal - they still feel slightly strained - but the running hasn't worsened them and this run-a-day-then-rest-6-days-plan seems to be working well.
Stay posted for updates.
