After being stuck at 9kms for weeks..I finally got the chance to surge ahead. I promised myself to go back from office on time and target the 11 km mark. I reached the gym at around 7:45..a bit late..but nevertheless..I changed in a hurry and headed for the treadmill. The first half an hour was tough..dunno y..I ran 3 times this week..2 short runs + 1 long one..but still the first half hour had my shins in agony! But as soon as the first 30 minutes got over..it felt loose. I dint realize when I completed the 9 km mark. The treadmill stops after 1 hour. So I shifted to the next one just to give the older one some rest. Now I was always very poor in maths..but I dint realize I was this bad. I calculated 9 + 3 = 11!! So I was running covering 2.5 on the newer treadmill and thats when I realized my calculation mistake. Nevertheless I could easily cover the 3 kms that I had decided. I had to stop..mainly cuz there was this friday night party at Syam's place. So I stopped..dint even have a drink of water and rushed to Syam's place..which is nearby. I was welcomed with bacon ...and brandy. We quickly finished up the booze and had the biggest dinner ever. Whew!..wat an awesome day!..its close to 2 am now..everyone's gone to sleep..I am planning for the same..so I guess i'd better stop now. Hopefully I am able to gain some speed in a few weeks.

From my personal experience, I never had problems scaling up on mileage. You should have sufficient water though. Alcohol is a diuretic (makes you lose water by peeing) and you should avoid it before or immediately after runs.
yah i had loads of water in between drinks! :D . So i guess is should work on my speed now ryt?
