Travel to Mumbai, Family Get-together and Drive to Chennai

My miles have been close to nil last week due to the injury. It does not hurt anymore but I needed a week off before I could start running again. The week was effectively spent having cold beverages, watching movies and working late hours.

My travel to Mumbai for over a month is yet to be finalized but it seems like I will be gone for a while. Though I will be learning immensely from this project, the city gets to me. My diet goes for a toss when I am there and it is simply too fast for me. Looking forward to run with some new folks on Marine drive and in Bandra though.

We had a family get-together in Chennai yesterday and it was great to chill with my aunts and cousins. We don't do it very often but whenever we do it, it is a lot of fun.

The drive to Bangalore was really relaxing. All I had to do was sit in the passenger seat and talk/listen. Vicky aka Satish Kumar Sampath did all the driving. He kept complaining about how he could feel every muscle in his stomach because of the hunger. I made faces when he attempted to consume a parotha that really looked bad which made him turn the only available food down. We grabbed some panipuri and dahi chat (junk) later.

The running begins this evening and I am going to start off with 2k on the treadmill and slowly increase mileage through next week.
