Today’s run was extremely special for many reasons.
This was my first run with The Wipro Chennai Marathon.
I’d signed up for a 10k. And, I was not at all motivated to run this morning, for many many reasons.
But, then, running is not just a physical pursuit but a mind game as well. I told myself, that I am not quitting and would participate. I labelled it as ‘Hope’ run in my head and reached the start point.
Through my run, I felt humanity, for others and myself.
I rediscovered myself through this journey.
It was a run where I sweated out all my negativity, insecurities, doubts, unpleasantness and everything that would not help me progress.
And, for the stats, I completed the run at an average speed of 6.31 kmph, which is by far my best.
I took 01:20:46 duration to complete the entire run.
P.S: I’d like to record my gratitude to all the amazing coaches at The Quad, especially Raj Ganpath for being an inspiration!
Also, Meera Sundar, Prasanna Kumar, Karthik Natarajan: Today’s run is dedicated to you folks! 🙂
