This was a PR for me - I took 23 minutes off my previous run at the same evening last year!

Post race analysis of all the splits indicated that i ran the first half 3 to 4 minutes faster than what i should have and then, may be, i would have ended in a better time - there is always a next time.

couple of days rest and back to training.

Congradulations on your PR! I think you'll easily be able to easily meet all of your running goals soon.

BTW...We're the same age and started running about the same time :-) Do you live in Mumbai?

Thank you IJR.

I am based in Bangalore. What about you?
