Slept around 11.30pm last night and wokeup at 5.15am... Went for the jog... wanted to hold up my yesterday's distance... so set my timer at 35mins... just to keep it daunting... i was sure i couldnt do this much of time... so started off as everyday with lots of discomfort... but once all the rust went off in my body... i was at my usual slow pace, steady breath... and looking good... After 2.5kms... my back started hurting a bit ... it was the usual pain that everyone gets when running for long.. so i kept going... slowly but with certainity i reached my usual 3km distance... was tempted to stop... it was 23mins by now... i just wanted to see how further could i go... so i kept going very slowly... at around 33mins, reached my best distance of 3.7kms (like i said before this is what google says, and i have to agree with it).... so kept going further and reached a new point... 3.92kms per google... so close yet so far from 4kms... i crossed the 35mins inbetween 3.7kms and 3.92 kms... i finished 3.92kms in 38mins... i was really surprised and happy to have done this .... really didnt think i could do it... Man i was ecstatic.... the real joy of running comes in the last 5mins of your run when u gasp for air... beathing with u r nose and mouth and hoping you had a couple more of those... sweating from everywhere and everything passing by is nothing but a blur... thats the true joy of running atleast for me... i know i'm not an expert runner but today i really felt like a runner... so despite of my reservations i rewarded myself... had a new Tshirt for a while, its a little tight... so didnt wear it till now... i didnt care today... wore it to office... thought the day couldnt get any better but it did.... No more details on this... but it turned out to be bittersweet... anyway... I'm happy about how it all went down... Played a cricket match in the evening and lost again :) ... its alright... Ok food...
Breakfast --- Upma (the Samolina flour dish)
Pre Lunch --- 1 Tea
Lunch --- 3 flat breads with simply boiled cabbage dish
Evening --- Didnt eat anything was busy with work and wasnt hungry
Dinner --- A very small sugar apple, little bit of sago boiled in milk
All in all a great day for the experiment... But as i get ready to sleep... i feel a small void inside me... a void that i was hoping to fill, but knew for sure i havent found the one to fill it yet... i was hoping i had found the one... but hey i was wrong... again... like i said its bittersweet... i go to sleep today with a feeling of serenity and happiness not just from running, but from life itself, from being blessed with a chance to do what i wanted to do for long... from having the chance to meet people who could understand some of my craziness, from the simplicity of an honest conversation that allows you to sit across the table and just talk about anything you like, without having to think too much about the reactions you might invoke... From the simple joys of life... GN
