Samaresh and I ventured out very early today to run 5K together in the moonlight. We tried capturing pictures of the moon with our iPhones – but it is a very elusive subject… After Samaresh left, another 8K all by myself watching the dawn break!!

The trail was too dark at 5:45 am. I figured that the copperhead snake from last Sunday must be on its way back :-). So ran for 3 miles in the adjoining running track in moonlight and then as dawn broke, hit the trail…

13.1 miles (21.1km) at 9:36 min/mile pace to wrap up the 100th run of the year. Started in early morning but by the time I finished 2 hours and 5 minutes later, it was very bright sunlight. The 100th run of the year was also made memorable by the snake that I came upon. In spite of running low on salt and sugar, I had enough presence of mind to let the snake have the right of the way!!

7.5 miles (12km) run at 9:14 min/mile pace cutting through thick fog and humidity…

Out of 16 runners that showed up this morning, we, the men, got thoroughly outnumbered 5-11 🙁 At this rate, I move that we rename the group “Chalupi” 🙂

8 miles in 1 hour 6 minutes.

3 mile in 26 minutes by myself next to the river. Then joined Arup, Samaresh and Subho for 4 miles. For the last mile, peeled off from the group and gave my heart out. 7min 22sec for the mile. Now sweating profusely to match the river flow 🙂
