YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAA!!!
Oooohh yeah baby! 10 k!!
ahahahah...ummm been too long. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!


Ali is going to be so jealous. It's not just that he doesn't have my Nike Air Max 2004s. He doesn't have the legs for it. Tsk tsk. *grin, this should be fun*

With no prior training, after not having run for ages (except a 4k run after a month of inactivity 1 week ago), I just get up and do a tenner. Oh yeah!
ahahahah...


Mein kuch cha gaya hun....zaida nahee...bus thora thora.....AHAAAHAHHAH!!!

Hey Ali. What's up? *grin*


There is something about running for so long. Knowing that after an hour - when the basketball match has ended, when the second six-a-side footy match is over, when all the spectators have left, when the PDC has closed, and the only sound in the area is the sound of your footsteps, your even breathing and the music society people drumming up in the music room - you are the only one still up and running. It's a beautiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiful feeling.

Got knee aches at the beginning of the 8th km. Sucks. Running on sand is out cuz its too difficult and Lahore sucks as it has no beach. There is no grass stretch long enough to be a decent track around here. That leaves the road.
Sigh.

The last 3 kilometres were punctuated by growls and grunts. I got some very stunned looks from a couple of females. Mein kya karun. It was dark. I thought I was alone and therefore eligible to growl and grunt all I like.

I was laughing like a doped out Woody Wood Pecker by the end of the run.
Nice endorphin rush. But just nice. Not amazing. I think I am ready for 20 k.

I can't imagine what running for 2 hours will do to my knees though. Better do it on a weekend. I sure as hell won't be able to walk to class the next day.

Distance: 10 kilometres
Time: 1 Hour 7 Minutes

Not only do you run slow, all you can do is put up pics of smelly shoes and socks. Can't post something like this can you, with that Khochay-say-li-hoi watch of yours. This is the Lahore Marathon:

Heart-Rate between 179-199: 41.42mins
Average HR: 181
Peak HR: 204
Min HR: 153
Total Calories Burnt: 1144
Splits:
3km 15.07.42 - (182)
4km 20.22.17 5.14.75 (184)
6km 34.23.18 14.01.01 (175) * The caveat being the stop because of the false start etc.
7km 39.38.62 5.15.44 (180)
8km 45.02.71 5.24.09 (181)

10km 54.21.14 3.36.66 (187)

But I'm glad at least one of us has started again. I was getting embarrassed to have made this blog.

ehehehe...you're gonna continue to rub that lousy no good marathon run of yours in my face aren't you? Just wait. One of these days, i'll do 20, and then you're gonna be sitting there, needing consoling.
muahahah...

watch out!
