36 KM TODAY
14 OCTOBER 2012
A close friend of mine Shaji Ahmed , lives in Değirmenlik. It is a small village on the northern side of the Lefkoşa-Famagusta road. It is 18 km from lefkoşa.
Today i decided to visit him. Ofcourse on foot.
I started off at 6.30am in the morning. The weather was fine, a bit cold. I continued the routine running/walking spree.I continued moving ahead towards Famagusta, the eastern part of the northern cyprus. The road was straight and i enjoyed running towards the rising sun. It was a wonderful to see sun rising.
At 9 AM i reached the point on the highway, from where i would be turning north to reach the destination, which was about 3km from that point. My friend had decided to walk from the village to the highway point, with his school going daughter. They had travelled 3 km on foot, just to receive me on the main highway. For them , it was a good opportunity for them to go out for a walk.
We reached the village in an hour time. With the famous five fingers mountains in front of us, we enjoyed our walking through the spinning roads of the village. There were lots of olive trees on the way, alongwith other fruit trees.
The breakfast was ready. It was nice. I enjoyed.
For about two hours we continued chatting.
I left off for home at about 11 AM. It was very hot. I had decided not to run. It was a long journey. I reached home in 3 hours.
I am preparing myself for my 65km walk/run on 26th october. On that day i will not be having much time to rest on the way. So i am preparing myself to walk under sun.
It was a nice walk today. I enjoyed.

BACK IN ACTION
6th October 2012
After quite a long break, i am back in action. It was a break of more than two months. I had stopped running, although i continued walking daily. First it was the month of ramazan, then, i had had some uegent works in istanbul, then some urgent work in office made me sit late there including working on week ends.
In short i could not give the needed time to running.
But now i am back in action. I am concentrating more on running. But it is not easy. The weather has changed. The days are shorter now. But that is not all. Today i had planned a 3 hours (around 20km run/walk) in the evening, but it started raining heavily just as i was getting prepared to start. Unfortunately, i had had to cancel my plan.
I did run /walk for about an hour today morning. It was slightly cold, but pleasant. I liked that.
I walked around 3 hours around midday.
In the evening, i just finished an hour walk.
It was a good day.
