TCS10K

Ran 10K race. Couldn't match the practice time. Run wasn't smooth as I had expected. Didn't carry water and got dehydrated in first couple of Kms itself. It was inspiration to watch a ~70yr old man running far better than me, who finished just behind me. Have to get few things right before next race 

- Diet on race day (had 3 bananas felt heavy during race)
- Proper footwear (tried close to bare foot didn't go well)
- Good music collection (not assembled just 1hr before race)
- Water intake during race (carry water or decide pattern)

Next Aim is HM.

Morning runs are awesome

Have been doing short morning runs and it's awesome. Not an early morning person, beating my laziness makes it even better. I am trying to train myself to run about 1 hour without too much of effort, I am holding pretty good so far. Able to clock 9Km in just over 1 hour, short term goal is to make it 10K in 1 hour. 

Though I have participated in few runs around, my most of the training has been on the treadmills. Its a difference experience to run on a real terrain and mechanical belt. I have to say that running on roads is far more fun experience than in closed, controlled environment. Running on roads is fun because there are a lot of things happening around which take your mind away from running helps extending your endurance. Also morning running forces me to correct my last meal of the day. Hope to keep my stint going.

Away from Biking (cycling) for some time now. Need get my bike serviced before I could be regular. Not a single click in 5 months now. Life is on without much navigation.
