As decided I did manage to go for my run on Sunday night and had a good run. I might do one more mid-night run during the world cup and after that will discontinue it, not really worth the mental stress running with the fear of stray dogs!!
I happened to read a newspaper article recently which mentioned that running on the beach may cause injury (according to some orthopedic experts). This is against the popular perception that sand is soft and hence easier on the legs (knees and joints) than a hard pavement. But according to orthopedic experts the opposite is true. The inconsistent surface of sand causes the forces to go through the feet, ankles and hips in a dramatic & uneven/consistent manner, which can predispose an athlete to injury in any one of these body parts. Sprains and tendonitis are commonly diagnosed injuries after running on sand on a regular basis. So basically you can't run on sand or pavements (the damage they both cause), the other options are to run on a treadmill (which can get very boring) or find some grass or mud track (which is not easily available & even if it is, its usually too short, which makes it boring!!). Maybe running on water might be the best option!!!>>>>
Looking forward to my run tomorrow morning....
