Started off Monday morning with a good all body workout.

Because I missed yesterday morning, I decided to forgo the long run to do the hard work. Not only was it hard, it was nearly impossible. Broke down the sets eventually into more manageable sections.

Almost immediately went to the track meet at Chhatrasal Stadium for the young boy. The sea of boys (and it was boys only today) was incredible. The youth of India is an untapped resource of infinite energy. Just come to track to see it.

I could feel the tiredness sweeping over me like a wave. Today, just slept in and gave in to a rest day.

Rested it out today.

Ran easy around the park and then picked up pace to close out a super run.

These roads form the perfect one kilometre distance roundabout to roundabout. It was 800m of running with 200m of easy.

It was a bit of a mind game but for the first time this season it felt like I was light and strong.

It’s happening.

Slept in and ran super easy on the treadmill. Followed it up with a new core exercise and sweated buckets.

Rested today.

As I was approaching the parking, I saw Shikha running down Niti Marg. Of all the runners already here this early morning, she stood out.

I looped around counter clockwise to meet her. We ran steadily for the next hour and half approximately barely exchanging a word and increasing the pace gently.

Back at the car, I met the young boy for a quick five leaving me to do a one point five at the end, to close out long run Sunday.

Later in the afternoon after some excitement involving the young girl’s injury, I fell into a deep slumber.

Nearly always, I have distance based intervals. Today was timed intervals. Pace was okay – not too great – but I felt good. I’ll take that as a win today.
