Many will think about the addiction :) means ... I know you filthy mind. But yes I am got addicted (I think this is best way to express) to running. It started by accident in June 2013, I got introduced untouched word of running, thanks to Pune Running group http://www.punerunning.com/and my enthusiastic college Ganaga.
In those days I had severe back pain issue and unable to sit more than 30 min. on chair. You can that was Kick..
My first 5K with timing of 47:26, please bare me one can complete the same distance with simple walking. I am saying my running timing certificate ! But yes whatever timing it was great joy to finish first 5K, yes I got certificate as recognition.
Then onward my unstoppable journey begin that never ended till date !! After my first run I have participated in every run that is organized by Pune Running most of time 5K. Yes in month of Nov 2013 I have crossed my limit yes I have finished 10K in Amnora City Run, that was my first 10K. Thanks for enthusiastic crowd and my energetic friend Kunal who help me push more.
One thing I realized in between that there is nothing like pain or exhausting. Everything is decided and controlled by your mind and your slave body have to follow it.
Now I thought that lets give try for some big event and I have enrolled for Pune International Marathon www.marathonpune.com. On the race day I was little bit nervous but amazed to see the cheering crowd. In my college days I have roamed around Laxmi road, Deccan and Camp but never though that some day I will run on that memorable route. The running route was very familiar and there are lot many memories are attached with it, good thing is that whole road traffic is blocked for us ! I started my 10 marathon from Deccan there are cheering crowd with dhol tasha at every chouk , that give us boost to drag our feet to finish line. The climate was little bit humid as I am first time running inside the city, but who care if you decided and spend good amount for registration after all ! Ah finally I reached finishing line where we get the meddle, what a filling that can not be expressed in the word. That was my first meddle throughout my life ! till date I have never received any meddle. Me and Kunal came by Bus from station to Deccan and yes we have not removed meddle afterall this is my first meddle!
Till pune marathon participation I run only for marathon there is no regular practice. But after Pune Marathon we have started the regular practice session 3 days a week. We started it on Balewadi Stadium (after all we are becoming Professional !)
