Reached the 10k mark!
Monday, 29 March 2010 - Written by mohanty401 [profile]
It wasnt a great start or the middle or the end but it was a good run.. I surprised myself today... RAN (no walking in between) the whole 10k in 1hr 3min... And its a BIG deal for me... this despite that a Km into the run my I-pod cranked up (an equiv. of "skipping" on a disc..songs started to drag) and I need my playlist but switched to FM and it was ok.. at 6km I took the first sip of water and cld feel my stomach cramp and I thot OMG !.. at 7.5km was so tempted to turn left and head back home but took the right for the last 2km loop .... at 8.5km so wanted to walk but I knew if I walk I break the rythm and I am dun... the last 200m were the most difficult.. cld see the gate but it just seemed so far away.... but Finally made it in 1hr 3min... On my training program I have a 12k next week... for the time being I think I will take it easy and do another 10k only.. take it slow and gradual... The ankle is still troubling but now only if I do more than a 5km...

But at this moment want to forget the pains and just want to enjoy the feeling of completing a good run!!!

This is a huge accomplishment! Now you know you can do it. It's so much a mental barrier and now you own that barrier.

Enjoy your personal record!!! And remember it for the next time you feel like stopping.
