Dhauli Run

As Smurti could not turn-up for the day, i decided to run alone to the Dhauli, The curoisity of running was high as i need to have couple of weeks of rest since i had the plan of operation on my foot(remiving the external object that was implanted a year back).


It was a fabulous wake-up in the morning, Just after i opened my eyes and then again thinking to sleep back, the alarm did its job perfectly. Had a little bit self-talk imagining showering after the run before rushing for the odd job....



Picked up my fuel bag after creaming my foot, arm-pit and nipple with Vaseline. Runners need to take care of this as these are places where there are chances of bleeding with the friction. Munched a few bites of Candy, decided not to have much of food. Packed 2 candies and some cash and my dig camera on my arm-pouch.


Iced my calf last night to have a cooling effect.

Started from Jayadev Vihar home very slowly and very little stretching. The curious look of the folks looking at me are a thing to watch. Some people thought me as a foreigner and wished me Good morning to which i replied in perfect oriya to their stunned look. I really enjoy those moments. These are fun points on the run. Peoples curiosity drives me crazy.





I should start running a bit early, i love Sun coming out of dark and me running on road. That's a cool to watch and morning in this part of India is quite fantastic.

Initially my shin bone was complaining a bit but after 3/4k it was over and i was enjoying the run. Reached Governer house and then to Mausima square.

On the way waved a guy having a cigarate and gestured him for quiting.

Reached Lingarj temple comfortably and was going great. reached Dhauli square, may be a 15km perfectly and after which i realized i was slowing down a bit. This is where the mental toughness comes into picture. You need to make a rhythm to come-up with the speed. At this point of time I had finished all my candies and the electrolyte. This last 3 km run i really enjoyed, the road was quite scenic.


Started feeling a bit of cramp on my stomach and decided to walk a bit and it was gone.

And now reached Dhauli square in 1:46 min.
