My 27th year

Started the day with a bad stomach!! lolz!! yes the aftermath of spicy Indian dinner on christmas..
Given that I woke up late, I was contemplating on the thought of running to PaloAlto or to run to Fremont, which is a 6 hr run from San Jose...

Settled down for University Ave, Palo Alto. Mapped the route on iphone, and started off well. And as I said before, the spice in the food was spicing up my run. Started walking after about 5 miles of run, inorder to control the stomach disorder. Walked for a mile or so looking around for Starbucks. Found one and ah!!... answered the call of nature.. ;)..

took a hot latte, and on my way again, keeping a slow pace as my left knee was calling out. Man!! it was a serious pain, making me think that I should even drop the idea of completing the run to Palo Alto.

But I had read the book 'Confessions of an all night runner'
“Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must, just never give up!”

This would have been a 2:30 to 2:45 hour run, had it not been for my bad knee :(. But had to give myself a bDay gift, honestly I realized this after completing the run, and relaxing at the Starbucks.

To add, this was inspired by one of the blog posts by Dean Karnezie, UltraMarathon, endurance runner. RUNABOUT

neways HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :)....
