Dinesh, We can try to meet but I suspect that the start times for HM and 10K will be different. Last year my friends who had run the HM had finished by the time I started the 10K. Let's exchange phone numbers via PM (I'm not 100% sure if I will carry my phone).

[bujilover]

Oh yes. Didn't think about the start time differences. I ll PM you just in case we manage to find time .

Thanks Gautam will keep you posted on the updates..

Gautam, Congratulation on finishing the Philly marathon in excellent time! That's a mighty achievement that one can only dream off. Whenever I see someone running on the road, I always admire the simple athletic endeavor. It must be truly liberating. I was looking for a post about your running the NYC marathon. I hope the young tennis players in your charge are mighty proud of their Dad's accomplishment. You deserve an ice cream next time we meet!

Completed the Chennai Half Marathon in 2:12:28 -- things were going well till 15-16K and I was on track to finish in little more than 2h (or less if I had something at the end). Then disaster in the form of cramps forced me to walk and run to the finish. I literally crawled at the end. I have never experienced cramps before and so was happy to be able to finish.

Congrats Suresh!! That's a pretty good time! Did you hydrate well (especially in Chennai weather). Coconut water before the race also helped me quite a bit with these sort of issues. Good luck my friend! Running is addictive

[bujilover]

I have completed my 10k today in 56.26 mins . Feeling happy that this.is my first ever 10k . Havent covered such a distance while.practice too owing to laziness.

Well done Suresh! Cramping is painful, but then it should also be one of the easier things to get around next time...
