Abs Swims, Bikes and Runs

"I may not hear the Rocky theme song, or see the sunset anywhere, but for me, this may be a sort of conclusion. An understated, rainy-day-sneakers sort of conclusion. An anticlimax, if you will. But the long and the short of it is that this kind of conclusion fits who I am. I didn't start running because somebody asked me to become a runner. One day, out of the blue, I started to run. Simply because I wanted to." Murakami

Ready

I think I've peaked as far as training for this marathon goes. I completed about 33 K yesterday and although I almost lost it around the 25 K mark, some bananas and water did the trick: I was going strong when I pulled up at 09:45 AM...I'd been on the road for exactly 3:30 minutes with no stops save to buy the water.

I had various pains and scares along the way but I was able to set each of them aside, ignore them and hope they went away which they did.

I think I'll put in one more long run next Sunday before tapering off till Race Day. Good news too on the fund raising front. I've raised about Rs. 60 K and am hoping to bring in another Rs. 40 K in the next month.
