Sunday Long Run (22nd Nov 2009) Post Run Report

Hi All,

This is the post run report of Chennai Runners' Sunday Long Run of 22nd Nov 2009.

There were dozen plus (12+) runners at the start point. It was pleasant Sunday with cooler climate but without much breeze. (I was late to the start point due to traffic near airport, as the roads were being repaired).

I am trying to name the runners which may not be an exhaustive list and all may not have present at the start point

1.Narayanan

2.Ramesh Mckinsey

3.Ramesh Seshadri

4.Ramani

5.Senthilanand

6.Bhargav

7.Shameek

8.Siva (ECR)

9.Ramesh

10.Purushotham

11.Ramesh Balan ( Newbie to Chennai Runners)

12.Anand (Newbie to Chennai Runners)

13.Balaji.S

14.Rajamanickam (Came cycling from Ambatur and ran 3k)

15.Arun Krishanan (He ran inside the AU Campus)

16.Ramprasad

17.Ashwin

18. Shankar Lal M Patel

It was a good 16k for me, except for the humidity. (Though mentally I had planned to do 25k.)

By the time I reached Malar Hospital the Sun has risen but was playing hide and seek with the clouds. But ultimately it was Sun's day out and clouds could not hide it anymore.

I ran the first 10k non stop and then I started run/walk combo.

But when I had reached Anna University, Arun Krishnan was still running and I thought if not 25k I should at least do a Half (21k). But I couldn't. I just ran around 1k and decided to drop.

I have to discipline myself and run the mentally decided distance to get properly trained.

Everyone would have had good run.

Most of us had breakfast at AU cafeteria with lots of talks related to running. After the breakfast Shameek, Puru and myself were walking towards car parking and we met KK doing his 25k and he had started at 6.00am

Wish you all Happy Weekday Runs.
