New Year 2010 Run from Alwarpet - Post Run Report

Hi All,

I had decided to start the New Year 2010 with a run and so was decided by Ram, Puru and Narayanan and were there at C P Ramasamy Road.

Though we started late (due to me), at 5:30 am and not taken the route declared in Ram's mail for valid reasons.

We decided to run through Boat Club, River View Road, Kotturpuram Railway Station, Gandhi Nagar 4th Main Road, Malar Hospital, Greenways Road and De Monte Colony to reach the Start Point.

The climate was chilly and good for running. Ram and Puru were together and Narayanan and me running at a slightly lower pace just behind them. I was taken through a totally new route which I have not run and was exploring the new route and was enjoying.

When we reached the Gandhi Nagar Tennis Club, suddenly Ram and Puru came running behind of us and later learned, they were stopped by a Gang of Dogs and then Ram had lost the way and hence they were left behind. Now I joined Ram and Puru joined Narayanan. Ram and me ran non-stop to the Start Point and just few minutes later Narayanan and Puru also finished their run.

Had a good stretch session and we all left.

It was a good 10.79kms run as per my Garmin Data done in 1h:11mins at an avg pace of 9km/h.

On my way to Home, I saw Venkatesh running on the Kotturpuram Road towards Cancer Institute and I met him had a brief chat and left.
