Bangalore marathon 2006

The second Lipton Bangalore marathon is scheduled on May 14, 2006. The official dates were out just a few days back and it gives us a little over two months of practice.

I have been working on my upper body and have joined the gym at Jayalalitha Stadium. It is not a fancy upper-middle class one but attracts a lot of serious state level athletes. A good place to use the treadmill and get tips from the professionals. The gym by itself has good epquipment and the place is quite hygienic.

The chennai runners club has been practicing really hard with the membership constantly growing. One of the most senior members of the club said " when I started running, I was by myself. After a year we have approximately 15 people who run every weekend". The run usually starts at 5:00 a.m on Saturday mornings and is usually a 21 kilometer one. Runners who want to join the group for a stretch are also welcome.
