Running tracks around XLRI

running tracks around XLRI - Jubilee Park

running tracks around XLRI - Jubilee Park

Today I had a 4 km run in the Jubilee park for one last time, before I leave XLRI. The climate very much humid and cloudy, I just hoped it would rain (it dint). These tracks had been my companion for last 2 years, specially the last year of my training for marathon.

These two years, I had ventured on various running tracks. My constant desire to run longer took me along various routes, however with availability of water in Jubliee park along road, I did my most of running inside Jubilee park.

Some of the routes are
2.9 km http://treksee.com/p/igm
3.6 km http://treksee.com/p/igl
3.9 km http://treksee.com/p/64o
4.5 km http://treksee.com/p/j89
4.6 km http://treksee.com/p/igi
4.9 km http://treksee.com/p/igj
5.2 km http://treksee.com/p/j8a
5.5 km http://treksee.com/p/ign
5.7 km http://treksee.com/p/igk
6.4 km http://treksee.com/p/igo
7.2 km http://treksee.com/p/j8d along Subernarekha river
7.4 km http://treksee.com/p/j8b
8.9 km http://treksee.com/p/j8c
9.9 http://treksee.com/p/igp
12.5 http://treksee.com/p/6kv
17.5 km http://treksee.com/p/7ch
20 km http://treksee.com/p/83y

Roads in Jubilee park are good surfaces for running, though hard and crowned to large extent, it is relatively less crowded (except weekend/holidays). Most people walk/jog in morning in Jubilee park, I was among very few people who run in evening.

I am going to miss these tracks. Hope I find some good running tracks back in Dombivli.

too much running are done with…that goodbye to jubilee was still causing pain in my shins this morning when i walked out for tea :)

there is much which will be missed…the park,the jogs,walks,tea at 5am after night outs…sutta at the roof (remember,remember?!)…and of course,the jungle book :D

i wish we had done more treks…but then we always got too lazy…

anyways,this is getting nostalgic!!i am not gonna write any paeans right now,though someday i might…probably will…hope we will do that “what the fuck do i hold” trek sometime later this year :D
