New season - New targets

So, here we go. The good winter season is gone like it never came. The breeze morning runs have become difficult to accommodate. Now one has to wake up at 5 am so as to get a good time for an easy 10 Km. But, that's how it is, and that's what keeps me going. A new season has begun. Just to make it more tough i am in need of a new PR. Yes, its summer and no time is better then summer for a 10Km PR :) And no event is better then the Bangalore 10K for that.
Last year i did it in closer to 57 mins. This time, keeeping it more in perspective i need to squeeze it in 50 mins.

, did a 25min 5K today as part of a tempo run, Will try to lengthen these tempos. At the same i am planning to start working out on hills, & since this is Mumbai, flyovers will be the hills :(
