Day 2
7am
It was raining when we started this morning.
Yesterday everybody was very fast, Asprihanal did 85 miles, everyone else also did a lot!
Suprabha ends the list with 65 miles.
Just great, doesn’t even seems like 3100 :)
I came back home after completing 71 miles which is my personal record, 130 laps.
For the first day this is just super good – I’ve never done 70 miles before.
After the finish last night I felt very good. Lots of energy left. I was even less tired than after training back in Kiev!
But this morning it’s a whole different story. My knees hurt a little. Maybe there are in process of adjusting to the concrete on a sidewalk, that will probably take couple of days. but I have a guess it might be the new model of running shoes – I bought 2 pairs I was missing when I got to New York. I was using this kind of snickers in 2004, but I don’t remember what the experience is.
Ok, as soon as the rain will be over, and I’ll change them. we’ll see what happens.
Under the pouring rain Parvati’s Group is singing beautiful songs for us. Very inspiring. That’s my favourite group, it’s the most honest one. Girls self-givingly come at 6.40 am every day, no matter what weather it is, or who is out at the race. Very sincere and beautiful singing, they cheer us up very much.
Today we have a first ‘holiday’ – Purna-Samarpan’s birthday.
