The RunningandLiving.com's Gurgaon run last Sunday marked the end of this running season for me.
This run was preceded by the Auroville Half on Feb15..The previous day was marked wth bouts of stomach upset which had me dehydrated on the race morning..
The half marathon started at 7.00 am with around 130 participants. The route was from Sector 55 park towards the Badshahpur-Sohna stretch..a longish , smooth wide road with tall buildings on one side. We went down this road till 7K and then returned back to starting point..again moved for a distance of 3.5-4 k and return.
Fears of upsetting my stomach balance, led me to avoid too much of fluid intake..i just sipped some Gatorade during the run. Also some fatigue resulted in my poor finish of 2:04.
The race ended with finishers medal ( embossed good quality leather ) and a timing certificate. Thanks Rahul Verghese & the team of volunteers for the wonderful organisation.
Agendas for next running season:
1.Build up lower back & legs strength (thru cross training or gym training..something which I have totally missed out this year )
2. Endurance training..and importantly training to run faster.
3. Enough long runs to prepare for my first full marathon next year( probably Mawana or Gurgaon )
4. Do a Auroville and /or Bangalore Ultra during next year
