Mother’s day run on 13th May Sunday at Anna University campus.


Mother’s day run on 13th May Sunday at Anna University campus.

My friend Loganathan and I planned to run 10km at Anna University campus. I’m living in Velacherry and he is living in Perambur.

We communicated via SMS and calls. We met at the Anna University main entrance at 7:05 am.

We warmed-up 10 minutes and started the run around 7:15am, weather was very amazing and fully cloudy. We started to run too late. So, God gave good climate for us. Oh! Thank God! The campus was full green trees on both sides and it’s my favorite course. We ran same pace. i.e. 7 kmph. We enjoyed the music loudly.

We ran around the entire university campus and we successfully finished 10 km at 01:22 hours. First time Loganathan finished highest distance. I congratulated him and we warmed-down 10 minutes. We took snaps. We went to the canteen and drank Coffee & Juice and left from there with sweet and great moments. We dedicated this run to Amma (Sathiya Vani Muthu Venkatachalam)…
