The Zeal To Grow

It's been some time since I have written a post. Now that I have lots of time, I thought about building up a note that I had written few years back. It is about Puttu. What is Puttu ?

Add cocunut to the layer wherever you want seperation or if you like cocunut a lot. Usually at the top of the cylindrical vessel also, we fill the grated cocunut. Now that the filling is ready, we have to steam it. We take a pot, fill it with water and fix the cylindrical vessel on top of the pot. Heat the pot

And when compared to the first one , this is way less dramatic (only 2 months training compared to 4 months and no injury scares/doubt of participation) and hence the post itself is much smaller.

I did a Half Marathon (HM) in July (DRHM 2019) and achieved a respectable timing of 2.04 hours. Should I improve my HM timing or do a second FM ? I did my first FM in 5.15 and I thought there is definitely good scope of improving that time. Panneer (friend of mine and an ultra runner) was also pushing me to do FM in SPCM 2020. Okay, I I will do another FM and probably bring my time  under 5 hours.  But the training needed for FM is too long and much difficult when compared to HM.  By Googling, I found a short 8 week (2 month) training plan for FM . I made slight modi
