First fartlek [Oct 13 2009]

Post 10miler finds me very confident and upbeat. So I decide to give fartleks a try.

It was exhilarating! And very tiring! It got really dark. So I couldn't look at the time. Used the electric line poles as gauges. Sprinted and slow ran every alternate pole for 1.5 miles. Then held steady for the rest.

Its starting to get cold too! I hope I can hold on. We might need to get some gear for the cold. I don't know what they are called. Will have to ask Frank.

Meals: Cereal + Milk for breakfast, a regular turkey sub from Quiznos for lunch, beer + heat-n-eat chicken curry + chapati + spinach-potato भाजी for dinner.

Also, just found out that Madhura has registered me for a half marathon!!!!!!!!!! yaayyyy!!!! This one's in DC. For the Gynecological Cancer Foundation. On Nov 8th! This time I feel totally confident. I am not sure about the time I will be able to finish. Am not even going to set a time. Let me run this just for fun. What say?

New goal Sept 15 2009

When I posted my status on Facebook about completing my first 10K on Sept 12, Swapna asked me what am I training for? Casual question, I am sure. But that set things rolling for me. More about that in Random Ramblings.
So here's a new goal: A 2:00 Half marathon by my 2010 birthday.
So, here's my running blog diary to keep a track of my training and keep me on it!
Meanwhile, a couple of pics from the Run Washington website:
