The Sunfeast 10K run

I did the Sunfeast 10K Open

Run today. I finished in 1 hr

10 min 26 sec. Finally, a timing I am happy about.

Best of all, it was a good run. I didn’t have any of my usual

performance anxiety symptoms, mostly because I made sure that I didn’t

plan or think about the run. I’d just get up late, hurry and reach the

place, just wait to run and hope everything goes well.

I’m thankful that it worked out exactly to a T and it was a good run.

A really feel-good steady-pace run.

I needed an extra boost in the end to bear the searing sun and that

was provided by “Get Up!  Go

Insane!”. Thanks Fatboy Slim!

There were people running for their charities, people running for fun,

people running in costumes, and even people running out of curiosity.

I was running to fight against my off-late tendency to give up easily.

On a different note, I must appreciate how well-organized the entire

event was. After the run, they gave everyone bun and biscuits. It may

not mean much in a normal situation, but after a run, it’s really

important and I was thankful they had thought to this level of detail.

After I came out of the Kanteerava stadium (the start and end point of

the run), I bumped into an old school mate after a really long time.

He looked at me and asked:

So next time, don’t underestimate that fat people can’t run.
