Since we came back home late last night, it was decided that I will join the Sunday morning run but let Nikita and Sharmila sleep in. This morning as I was putting my running clothes on, eight year old Nikita sprang from her bed and said she will come out. Sharmila and I were concerned that she might not have rested well but she was adamant she will come out – even after I told her that her best friend was not going to join today.

I was impressed by her energy – so I switched back from running shoes to walking shoes and Sharmila also decided to join us. Amitesh, Samaresh and Paroma came and they ran with Sharmila for 5K. Nikita and I walked for 2.5K. Met Lara from our running group at the Greenway.

During the walk, Nikita asked me when do I get up for my run on weekdays, how much do I run and when do I finish. I was getting excited that she might want to come out on some weekdays too. So, I answered her questions and then asked “Why, what are you thinking?”. She said “Nothing. Just making polite conversation”!!

So, that was that!!! 🙂 🙂

Ran this morning with the good old Windward Road Runners group after almost a couple of years. Good to see Bill and Lurene after such a long time! I had my bright yellow shirt and yellow shoes on. So, I was the designated headlights today 🙂 6 miles at 8:46 pace.

Sub-9 minute miles for 3 miles. Beautiful Milton weather in this early fall. However, the hills were steep enough that I had to take a 15 second break to catch my breath. So far, September is going nice and easy. I think the muscles are recovering enough that I will shoot for another month of 100 miles of barefoot running in October.

5K run at around 9:45 pace very early in the morning in John’s Creek. And then caught up with Raj for a brisk 4 mile walk which included a dare run up a hill….
