I\u2019m an old person who runs without her phone. Hence I never have pre run during run and most importantly – the post run jubilant photos. Today, I happened to wear this same combination so I thought it\u2019s only fair to use this London Marathon photo (also I\u2019ve paid more than a pretty pound for this!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

11 weeks to Raceday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s has been an intense last 4 weeks. The build up since Paris has been a bit quick- but I didn\u2019t have a choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 weeks. 19 runs. 261km.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Friday:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was to go to the funeral of family friend who had passed away yesterday- whose name eluded me. I thought and thought and thought. How can I not remember? I was just discussing him with my sister-in-law. Thank god for the over smart whstapp that stores all this info for me. Bharatbhai it was. Such a simple name. And I like the man. I knew him well. There was no excuse for not remembering it. My brain is shutting down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had to google the Japanese shoe brand to remember \u201cOnitsuka\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fatigue is getting to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yash texted me last week. He had reached state of permanent fatigue. I replied- that I would take a week more, since  I was a week behind him in the training cycle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sure enough. I texted him yesterday. Fatigue has moved in. Along with his inept partner- clumsiness. In 2 days, I\u2019ve spilt coffee, ruined a coaster, and dropped a 20 year old corelle plate that cracked yes!), amongst other minor mishaps. I wonder if it\u2019s related? Any thoughts? <\/p>\n<\/div>

It\u2019s been a good week mileage wise. 55km done so far. And 25\/27 tomo to close the week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following down week will be a relief. Whilst doing drills this morning after our 10km Rahul and I pondered on the greatest mystery of life- \u201cWhy are we doing this to ourselves?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yay yay yay. Finally a long run in the run. So fun that we did 2 extra km after 27 just \u201ccoz it\u2019s raining and how can we not?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s a wrap! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ps: I am watching the show ‘Shogun’ on Disney while I stretch\/foam roll<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for motivation- just started American olympian marathoner’s Clayton Young’s 16 part docuseries on YouTube. All goose bumpy and real. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@_Clayton_Young_<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
