Nov 6th: Saturday morning- the day after Diwali, did a trial run on a trail at GKVK at 5:00 am with a headlamp. Was not a great experience, especially after the headlamp went 'kaput' after the first hour. Luckily it was just a lose connection and it is still usable.
Did my 10 miles and felt good..
Have started receiving response from my facebook wall. Things look promising on the fund raising front.
Nov 7th: Sunday morning: A liesurely run of 10 km with Suresh and Mohan for company.
Sunday evening: Get a moving mail from my a good neighbour, promising her support to the cause
Nov 8th: Started 'tapering down' this week. Got up to the pitter-patter of rain drops and knew that my run was not happening today.
Have been luckier on the fundraising front. Have received pledges from neighbours and friends
Nov 9th: A sunny morning today; very pleasant for running. Completed 6.4 km in my apartment complex and received a lot of encouraging "all the bests" from my neighbours on their morning walk. My last run is tomorrow and then I am resting till race day.
Have reached Rs 20k towards my fundraising goal. 55K more to go and 4 more days to race day!
