A generation later
Spanning generations!
First time I have run with two generations in the same family. 5 mile run with Rish (13 years age) today. Ran the half marathon with his mom Mita (of classified age :-)) in Dallas two years back. Rish plays football, basketball and track for his school (12 sec 100 yard dash). Probably explains why instead of my extra hot latte, I am having a caramel frapuccino with him at Starbucks 😉 — with Rish Basu and Mita Basu at Starbucks 9830.
Multi-runs
Went for a run at Fowler Park. After my second mile, ran into Dan and Greg. They slowed down enough for me so I could post my life’s best 7:24 mile and then 7:40 and 8:00 miles. Then met up with Samaresh Mukhopadhyay and Amitesh Mukherjee and their daughters Paroma and Esha for a couple of more miles. Finally we put in a 150 meter dash at 4:43 min/mile pace. Afternoon nap cannot come soon enough for me 🙂
Row and Run
Faster and faster
After a mile of warm up, my personal best 5 miles at 8:05 min/mile. What a difference flat ground and cooler temperatures make!! — at Big Creek Greenway Trailhead – Fowler Park.
Apr 8 run
10K on a gorgeous spring morning in Atlanta. Crisp air, cool temp, mild sun and “Says You” in the ears… — at Big Creek Greenway Trailhead – Fowler Park.
One more country where I have run..
4 mile run in Vina Del Mar. Earned my trip to the wineries tomorrow!! — at Sheraton Miramar Hotel & Convention Center.
15th Woodstock Freedom Run
On July 4th, 2011, I ran the Woodstock Freedom Run. This was my first disciplined attempt after switching over to the minimalist run. I was not sure what to expect. Last time I ran in this race, the route was not full 3.1 miles – it was more like 2.9 mile. This time, the corrected it to cover full 3.1 miles.
Posted one of my fastest run at 7:45 pace (24 min 09 sec).
There were great festivities going on there. The mayor came and started us off from the top of the fire engine ladder which had extended from the road to the top of the main street intersection!!
First Turtle Trot 5K
On April 23, 2011, I ran my first run this year. I have been staying away from races as I try to master the Pose Method of Running. I am afraid, going for speed, I will fall back into old style.
It was the First Turtle Trot 5K at Cumming, GA. The money raised is to go to Tybee Marine Research Center. Melanie was there also in the race.
Posted a 24:18 time. The first half I was disciplined. The second half, I fell back to old ways 🙁
