I have been feeling pretty good post-D2D. I've been in a good frame of my mind with regards to my running and am actually looking forward to the Dream Runners Half Marathon scheduled on July 24th.
I joined the Nungambakkam Nitros on Saturday for my long run. It was to be a easy paced 10k. Our group was being hosted by the Pillar Pacers (these names!) from Ashok Nagar - another chapter of the Chennai Runners - and the plan was to run with them along their standard LSD route.
We met up at Haddows Park as usual and then we car-pooled it to Ashok Nagar. There were quite a few runners from the other chapter and before long a runner was leading us in some dynamic stretches & warm-up. Though it was a huge group of runners, once we started the run, I found myself running pretty much on my own. There were some runners running way in the distance and a bigger bunch a little way behind. It was nice to run along a route different from the usual but somewhere I took a wrong turn and I did end up actually running all by myself :-). I was in a familiar area though and I knew my way home so eventually I just ran back there - finishing my 10k.
It was a good run. The weather was kind - not too humid & with a steady breezy. I managed to keep up a moderate pace and finished at a decent time of 10:09. Happy overall.
