In gods own country - Wayanad, kerala.

AM
I ran for around 60 minutes, slow running, with some burst of fast runs just a couple of 100meters. The road was undulating and camber too steep for my liking.... 

PM
Trekked to Meemmutty falls a steep descent down the western ghats (India) and then a steep climb - almost a 3k trek) my legs are screaming - but overall it was fun.

4k warmup
For the first time i did a 400mx20 - here is the break-up

On asphalt, with a slight downslope. Did 13x400m, recovery 400m job back to start (could time only the first two 400m as my watch battery died) - first was 1:24, second 1:34, rest were slower but i guess they were in the range of 1:40 - 1:50

7x400m, recovery in place 1 minute rest and back 400m uphill

followed it by a 1k cool down.

was almost dead by the end of this work out, the left heel is a bit sore.

Heel getting better, no swelling. I guess this was due to the 400m repeats on asphalt road with a camber.....next time i need to find a flatter track.

30x30m swim with 10 minute jog in the water...
