Wanna heat train? Come to Delhi.

Runners planning on taking part in KTM '10 or SCMM '11, come to Delhi. The weather here is superbly awful.

All my last 3 runs here were not too satisfactory. And I would like to believe that it was the weather.

Monday - 5KM (Pace: 5:20/KM)
Wednesday - 7KM (Pace: 5:18/KM)
Thursday - 6KM (Pace: 5:14/KM)

Granted that my mileage in the last 2 weeks prior to this one was ridiculously low (12KM and 5KM respectively ... for each week!), but I don't think I have lost conditioning.

In every single run of this week, my target had been a 10K, which used to get negotiated, while running, to 8K and then it would finally settle to the nearest whole number. Near the 3K mark of each run, I would feel overheated. I also felt my shoes burning up.

Another factor could be that I never drank water. This is just me being a spoilt Bangalorean. This is one thing which I can change.

So the goals for the coming run (please don't laugh at me). Break 10K; carry water; drop the pace.
