Bangalore Midnight Marathon

Word on the street is that the run has been preponed to April 4th. Crossover guys are a bunch of dicks. They don't understand that long distance running requires structured training with emphasis on load and tapering.

I don't feel like doing this run but I'll still run it. The plan is to train for this month by putting in about 50 miles a week to make my little cousin Jwala proud. Running with her is a lot of fun. We talk, we walk, and I get to be on national news simply because she is drop dead gorgeous. Not to mention that I get to sit at Pecos all day after the run, listen to some classic junk, sip on beer and eat a lot of popcorn.

Movie, popcorn and half-marathon

Rode down to Sathyam to watch this movie called Fool's Gold last evening. The only highlight of the movie was some good buttery popcorn that Sathyam serves. Two hours of waste and I would not recommend it.

Twenty minutes through the movie, I moved into the running zone and started visualizing the Chennai half on sunday. I was trying to strategize how I would run the race and told myself to sip water every 10 minutes. I started visualizing the morning on race day, my parents dropping me to the race course, the painful first 5 kms, the orgasmic 15 km and the gruesome 20th km. Finally, I visualized the finish and the claps on the finish line. Thats something every runner/athlete looks forward to. It is great to be appreciated. Anyways, I was so lost and watched a movie internally that Fool's Gold did not matter at all.

Sharing

I do not like sharing three things:

a) panipuri
b) popcorn
c) beer

If I share one of these three things with people then they must be special.
