Big day, couldn't sleep last night, excited and mosquitos are the reasons... slept for about 3 hrs, woke-up very early around 3.30am... then got ready and went for the run... run started at 6am... started slowly... I haven't been running for about a month now its all been about swimming... so was a little skeptical if I could finish the 15k which I was running for the first time... so wanted to run without a break for as long as I could... the best I have done before was 52 mins, so was hoping to do atleast 40 to 45mins... the race was a big lap, starting point to the midway point, then back to the starting point... so I was able to run non stop (but extremely slowly) for 1hr 11mins and 25seconds... so that's 71mins... longest I have ever ran... I covered almost 8 to 8.5kms... from then on, did the walk-run walk-run things... so its been a good run... felt exhausted after the run... will update this post with run times and walk run timings ... all in did it in 144mins... pretty alright for a first time I guess... happy with the run... knees are hurting, used ice to reduce the pain, but it still hurts... should be good in a day or two... so food, before the run had one dry fruit, the during the run had lemon based drink, lot of water... then after the run had 5 biscuits, then one coconut water... then came back home, had the usual after run headache, had an apple around 11am... lunch had some rice with beetroot and yellow lentil stew... drank water regularly, slept for couple of hours in the evening... then ordered dinner from outside, had plans of going for swimming, but knees are too painful, so didn't dare to go out... dinner had big serving of fish curry with 4 rice pancakes and 2 wheat flour flat breads... heavy dinner... but needed to eat well as my lunch was also a normal one... so tomorrow rest day, then day after swimming and got a cricket match as well... lets see how body will react tomorrow.. time for bed.. a great day, my first 15k run proved to be very enjoyable...
