I guess I have written enough about runs now.. or wait.. no. not enough.. :)
12th Oct was the Melbourne marathon and me and him did a good job. I loved the enthusiasm in the crowd and so much motivation for us to do better :) People from across ran as One. 'Run' was binding us all together as one.
No caste, no creed, no color, no gender bias and no age limits. I have seen 70+ yrs doing a better job than me. New mommies running and their kids n husbands cheering for them. People of different body types pushing their limits to run as one. The crowd and the zeal was way beyond any expectations.People dressed funny too, like buffoons, spiderman, fancy girls, and many more.
I completed my 10.2 km in 1 hr and 5 mins and he did 10.4 in 1 hr and 15 mins. :)
I had aimed to finish my run in an hour but the last 3 kms were tricky due to narrow tracks and the crowd. People tend to slow down than rush in the last few kms and I was a little stuck among crowd and couldn't do as I had planned.
we were around 12 of us from our company running together and that was the best feeling. all our practise runs together, our beach runs on saturdays, our breakfast sessions, all paid us :)
The biggest motivation to me was our CTO's daughter, a 12 yr old running with us on every saturdays. She did her 10k in an hour and 11 mins and I felt so happy and inspired by that young girl!
We had a nice breakfast together after our run and all we spoke of is about 'Run' and how each of us felt :)
I plan to keep running and so do many of my team members. Wish I get to run often.
