Long Run, Running Books and other stuff on a Sunday

Wake up at 4:30 am, get ready, smear liberal amounts of Vaseline all over myself. Do a bottoms-up on a filter coffee and I am ready to go.

As planned for about 2 weeks, ran 29.5 km this morning at Kanakapura on what was a tougher than expected route. Finished in about 2:58. Then did a walk for about a mile to cool off.

Check out the route above.

It was one of the loveliest I have run, what with part of the route on the bank of a lake. Will return someday soon. Did consider doing another lap, but decided not to risk injury. I had about 90 min to do 12K and should have managed, but I am in no hurry.

In the meanwhile, the sagely, steady B completed his 2nd marathon in as many months as part of his 12 marathons in 12 months to celebrate his 50th b'day last month.

Am getting goosebumps reading "Spaghetti every Friday" by Bob Fletcher and "Za-to-pek Za-to-pek Za-to-pek" by Bob Philips

Boston will be one hard climb, it seems.
