An enthusiastic group of 13 runners turned up at 10:30 pm at the Marina beach to practice in the real time conditions for the Bangalore midnight marathon this Saturday. The conditions were rather humid but we pulled through.
During the run, I visualized the marathon running course to be very similar to the course of a human life. We start off with a lot of friends, family etc when we are born and along the way we lose one by one. Either they drift away from you or die. In a marathon, you start off with tons of runners in the begenning of the race. Everybody is enthusiastic. But you almost never finish the race with someone you started. More often than not, you finish the race by yourself.
Do you guys agree?
