Ran 8 miles [12.88km] on Sunday morning with the USC marathon team.
Here is a link to the route.
It was fun... especially since my quads were still hurting from the cross training at the swimming pool on Friday evening. I could barely walk on Saturday... and seriously doubted by prospects for the 8 mile sunday run, especially since I had run only 4 miles in the whole week.
However, thanks to the support from Pankaj, Zack and the others... [thanks to Mary Ann and Cleo too, who constantly motivated me to run more.... I just envy their ability to be able to run slowly and steadily].. I finally made it.
I cannot quite experience the feeling you get after such a run... you just have to do it for yourself.
Looking forward to more such experiences... well.. we are training to run a whole 26.2 miles finally!
Gatorade is the friend... running is the dharma!
Love and Luck,
-A
P.S. My quads still hurt... but I still managed to attend the first practice of "Vidushak", our Indian improv comedy group :-).
