On December 2nd, about 8 folks from the chennai runners will participate in the Singapore marathon. After the run, Vidyuth and I are planning to do a backpacking trip in Thailand. Ofcourse, everyone is welcome.
This is going to be my only full marathon for this year but I will participate in the Bangalore full marathon and run the last 30 kms to accompany my running partner Hari to the finish line.
I got back on schedule on monday and did a strong speed workout on tuesday. I plan to do a 13.5 km run tomorrow and a 6 km run on friday. Saturday morning is going to be ultimate frisbee and sunday hopefully a 25 km run. The beer quota for the month is over but I am sure I will exceed it but only marginally.
My long term goal is to start some profitable venture in running/sports (other than cricket) satisfying the double bottom line criteria. I really hope I can start it off within the next 5 years and create a sub 2:30 marathoner from India.

Hey Shumit,
This is Mani. i am originally from Chennai and now currently living in Ky, US. I started running 4 years ago. I love running as well and have run about 5 mini marathons so far. I want to run a marathon next year.
Enough about me. I have been thinking of coming back to India of late and was wondering if there were any active running groups back in chennai. It's great to find your blog, follow your training and the chennai runners group! It gives enough enthu to guys like me. Good luck with the upcoming singapore marathon!! Keep blogging!
Shumit, I have also finally decided to join your gang of 8 to the Singapore run. Lets see how things go, my practice runs are on track, and a couple of Half marathons (Noida, Delhi) should be good tests.
BTW, who are the others in your 8-star team.
