5 Down n 8 to go...

I ran 5 miles on last saturday!! I am so proud of myself. I told my dad that I ran 5 miles and he was like...tats 8 kms, it is the same as running from our home in aurangabad to the airport....wow....airport is like the farthest point...the city ends there.... :) ....tats a lot of running... :)

Some1 who has ran the Half Marathon before told me that once u start running 7 miles and keep it up till the D-day....u can easily run double of it and finish the Half Marathon.... :) ....so i juss have 2 miles to go.... ;) ....its inspiring....the best part abt this training is meeting ppl....every run u meet some1 new who would share their experiences and u go....oh ya....i can relate to it.... :) ....we met some1 who has ran 7 marathons in the past and is training to run the half marathon this time....i asked her "Do u like running?" and she said...."No, but i like eating".... :) .....oh yes....i love eating....i have a major sweet tooth....i shud be running coz i like eating.... :)

The atmosphere on saturday morning is amazing....there r so many who like to run or who want to run or who have to run.....every1 has a reason....some have the passion....its juss great to be in the midst of it all.....happy smiles before we start.....struggle during the run....and more happy smiles after we finish....a sense of achievement.....its juss out of the world feeling.... :) .....i like to talk, share, inspire and get inspired..... :) .....I am at 5 miles now....and in a week or so i will be at 7 miles.....tats something i am looking fwd to..... :)
