Today's run was good.. We tried a new route via Santhome to Gymkhana club and back to Dimensions..
The entire stretch was close to half marathon. With little bit of tweaks to the route we can make it a 13.1 miles.
Couple of problems with the route 1) The stretch between Paattinappakkam to Light house is a killer. The road is narrow and with the heavy trucks using that stretch with 'high beam' on in the early mornings.. It makes the run unsafe and unnerving.
2) Marina to Labor statue is generally a full of walkers in the mornings and it is difficult to navigate through. However, this is not as bad as the first one.
What do the other runners think?
Except for the Santhome Stretch, I did not see any problems. I did not think Marina to Labor statue stretch was crowded. You could always try the inner beach road to avoid the crowd.
