2017 has been a year with various runs spread across different months. Recently we had a chance to run The Wipro Chennai Half Marathon of about 21.1 Kms in 3 hours and 13 minutes. Running 10 km is an easy task but 21.1. Kms definitely needs lot of practice, endurance and fitness in the body. After running 10 Kms, there is lot of dehydration in the body and one has to take lot of water, salt, bananas, energy drink. Good thing about these runs are one has a good eye on the food habits, regular practice sessions during the week and the satisfaction one gets after crossing the finish line. This has been my second half marathon and full marathon is a distant dream for now. Running is indeed a great sport for IT professionals who rarely move their body anytime in their work.
