Big Sur Marathon - D-Day
So, I have been a bit late in posting this - blame it on the mental and physical awe that follows a marathon. Rather than just signing it off with just the timing, I was collecting my thoughts on how the event/race went and also update whether I am up for another one or not ( Read more... ) -
Big Sur Marathon training - Week #13, #14
Total othla/slack weeks. But, probably good for me. Hope I complete in the 4:30 target.
manjunaths is here. Will be leaving in a few mins with Prasad Gopal and Krishna Kanth. We are heading to Monterey to pickup the goodie back, before heading to Salinas where we have a hotel room. The D-day starts tomorrow at 3 AM, and the race begins at 7.

Big Sur Marathon training - Week #12
Finally, got the 20 miler done today. Though the rain since yesterday threatened to dampen everything, I kind of thought that the rain might be good for my first 20 miler, it would keep me cool. But actually, running in the rain sucks big time. The slushy trails by the bay waters, and the hidden sun just make running miserable. I want to run a ( Read more... ) -
Big Sur Marathon training - Week #9,10,11
Phew, there was nothing much to update, except for that 2 weeks ago I got shit scared about doing 26 miles, when I realized that the D-Day is in a month, and the max I've done is 7-8 miles. Put my head down, and did a couple of 6 milers, before jumping to a 12 miler last weekend, and a 15 miler this weekend. So far so good, and a decent pace too ( Read more... ) -

Big Sur Marathon training - Week #6
Me's posting this a day earlier than my usual schedule. Would like to think that it is the eager for posting something good :)
Did about 25 miles over the past week, and feels helluva good! Did a couple of 6.4 mile loops, and to cap it all, did the Sports Basement 5k today. joshmachine and his better half showed up too, and it was nice to hang out. Upon his ( Read more... ) -
Big Sur Marathon training - Week #5
Yet another normal week, last one. Have been running about 3 miles alternate days. Doing 9.5+ min pace. At this rate, chances of hitting the 26 mile mark looks rather doomed. But, lets see .. there's always hope :)
Looking forward to the Sports Basement 5k this Sunday.

Big Sur Marathon training - Week #3
Not much to talk about in training over the last week. As mention in the previous post, I seem to have got a shin splint. Haven't gone to the doc yet. Have been icing the injury, and glad that it has gotten better. Thanks to my friends Rajesh Jadav and manjunaths for generous tips ( Read more... )
