Six months of blogging

It's now about six months that I have been writing here. As you might know by now, I started running two and a half years ago and it didn't take too long to become an obsession. Then I started posting about  my running experience and motivation.Now the blogger statistics shows that Running in late 20s has been viewed quite often and that is over my expectation. But what I would really like to know is if this page has ever inspired anyone? Has it encouraged someone to give running a go? It is always great to see your comments.

Crossing the finish line

You do struggle to get there. But the very moment  you cross the finish line is worth it all.

Frankfurt Marathon 2012 as it happened

Last Sunday I was one of almost 16000 runners who attended the Frankfurt Marathon. As you might know by now that was my second marathon and my first road marathon. Visiting the marathon expo on Friday, I received the race pack and some other stuff among which there was a wrist band called "Pace my race". Depending on your expected finish time they would print out your time splits and mount it on a wristband. My expecting finish time was 3:45 but that was before missing those training sessions and twisting my ankle. Despite the freezing cold weather, the race started with a great vibe. I was starting in the second wave and our start time was at 10:10. Minutes after starting I found myself sticking to my pace and feeling quite all right. There was no sign of ankle pain and I was running almost effortlessly. There were live music playing in several spots along the course. Somewhere around 15km mark I was still running at five-minute kilometre pace. I thought it might be wise
