Day 12: 18th November, 2012: Leave the house late i.e. a few minutes to 6am. Dont feel up to the task this time but force myself out of the house and onto the road. Dont warm up properly either just do some small time stretching and I am off. At City Stadium by 32mins (7kms), City Mortuary in 57mins (12kms) the upper hill climb is still a challenge, T.Mall in 1: 11(15kms) the downhill run takes a toll on my cuboid bone (will research on it later cz it still hurts like hell). At Nyayo Stadium in 1:20 (17kms), Panari Sky Center (Mombasa Road) in 1:40 (21kms), City Cabanas in 1:58 (25kms). Really dehydrated and struggle through the remaining distance even lose my concentration because of the horrible outer ring road which has no running area. You either dogde around traffic or contend with the rocky, uneven paths with small pools from the recent short rains. Half walk and half run in the last two kms. Total time 2:38 in 31kms. Realize the need of carrying a bottle of water during the long runs. Met Jack at Mombasa Road and I noted he had a water bottle. To train myself on hydrating during the runs simultaneously so as to replace to lost electrolytes. To take a break for six days - allow my legs room to recuperate for a re-match of the same route.
