Running updates

Here you'll find entries made after various runs for the month of March.It is strangely interesting to read through them.It's as if you can relive each run - even if it is just a sentence or two.

How did it go? (4 Mar)

Great! Was running to Pixar's Up soundtrack and I could totally picture the movie while running. Slopes encountered were not that bad.

How did it go? (12 Mar)

Note to self: waking up at 5am on a Saturday beats being baked by the 10am sun any day. Nothing short of torture near the end.

How did it go? (18 Mar)

When my friend suggested we go for a short run, I didn't really think too much of it.Little did I know that the "short" meant that we were going in on it hard and fast. I think my heart cannot take too many of this type of runs.

How did it go? (20 Mar)

This was a tough one. My earphones decided to die on me. At first it was skipping songs randomly and I was playing the guess-the-song game with it. This carried on up to the point it decided enough was enough and changed the game calling one of my friends instead - at 8am, on a Sunday morning no less. I unplugged it and carried on, all 15km of it, songless. It was quite demoralising.

How did it go? (27 Mar)

What really took the cake was the song choice at the last leg of the run. It was Planet Earth and it was quite something to listen to the first movement(Lonely Planet) when it was still dark, transit into the second(Planet Earth) and conclude with Mother Earth , the last movement of the piece when the sky brightened up. I got the "feeling" at the beginning of the last movement when the twinkling started and that feeling stayed till the final C chord and applause.Clearly destined to be a song for hour 5-6 of the marathon.
