Sunfeast World 10K Bangalore

The Sunfeast World 10K, the only road racing event in Bangalore is scheduled for 31 May, 2009 this year. I have registered for the run and also training formally this year with Runners High of Dr. Rajat and Santhosh. But I lost two weeks of training due to a flu, but luckily it was at the beginning of the training not near the race day. I need to do a 2-mile run that they use to predict my 10K time, but I am guessing I will be around 60 minutes for the 10K. I would like to do a sub 60 minute run this time, but a 65 minute looks a realistic target though.

I started running regularly since last Sunfeast 10K where I finished just seconds short of 80 minutes. Since then I did a half marathon and a 25K and been running all along except during couple of flu attacks. So the distance is not a challenge this time and hence would try to improve the timings a bit and hopefully the training would help me out.

Surely, I would like to collect some amount for those who can't run via my charity partners, Association of People with Disability(APD). I collected around 50K last time and I would like to collect more than that this time which is a tough task in these bad economic conditions.

I will keep you posted on my progress towards the run timing and charity collection targets! You can track my trainings also at dailymile.com.
