I really enjoyed today's run. I had a breakfast date to keep with a friend who lives in Thiruvanmiyur and I thought, "Hey why not run there?". I was slotted to do a 16k today and google maps showed me this route to Thiruvanmyur from home covering a distance of 16.5k. I call it my beach-to-beach-to-beach route. It started with my usual route along the usual roads up to Marina beach, from there to Eliot's Beach in Besant Nagar and finishing up with the very pleasant, clean and inviting Thiruvanmyur Beach. The total distance of 17.75k took me 2 hours and 20 minutes. I had to do a fair bit of walking while getting my bearings and direction right along certain parts of the route. But it was pretty thrilling once I finished.
The D2D has been further postponed for reasons not cited. It actually works out well for me and I am a little relieved that I won't have to push myself through 3 back-to-back half marathons. My workouts have been going on as scheduled (minus a few small changes to accommodate work travel) and am pretty pleased in general. I am going to go easy on the weekday running though. Both my feet feel strained and I want them to be fresh and strong for the upcoming races.
