I'm back after a long long time...initially I was away for some inexplicable reasons and then I was being LAZY and for laziness excusesare very easy to come by....a slight knee ache, a slight headache...lack of sleep, too hot..too cold...anything!
But basically I also missed out on the 5K run that I was supposed to attend on the 5th of Sept....and since I've already admitted that I'm a queen of excuses - this time the excuse was that a friend was visiting from India and we had taken him out of town. For those who live by the "where there is a will, there is a way" principle...there would be an easy way out - but not for me! It was just easier to skip the run rather than go there and not be able to run the whole 5K.
But then as it usually happens - the conscience awakens and here I am signed up for yet another 5K on the 2nd of Oct. - and this time I made sure I signed up in advance so I don't get tempted to drop out!!
So running after a month and a half - I'd thought that getting past the first five minutes will be impossible, but hey I did two sets of nine minute runs with a walk of about two minutes in between and then another three minutes run to end! I think the weather being cooler also helped a little.
But I guess - with the muscles being so well rested for the past so many months, today could not have been so difficult. Tomorrow of course will be a whole new story!!! Looking forward though to tomorrow!!!
