Back on my Feet

Venue: Pachiayappas College
Start: Late Start - 7:30 am
Number of laps: 12 laps (6 laps clockwise and 6 anti-clock wise)

The run was fairly good after a break of one month from running. I did not feel the fatigue or any pain on my legs due to a good 15 minute stretch before and after the run. Also, topped the run with quality 3 sets of push-ups with 30 push-ups in each set.

What was I thinking during the run? Posture and breathing and Idlis waiting at home after the run.

In other news, I am reading this book called the Great Game that talks about the british and the Russian intellegence during the 1800's and early 1900's. I also just completed reading "Google". The running book I am reading is called currently is called "Running on Empty" and it is disgustingly humorous. All three are recommended.

Friday Afternoon at Work

I am sitting here in front of my computer on a friday afternoon thinking about the first sip of beer/wine tonight. I have figured out why I am so addicted to drinking beers on friday evenings. The feeling of beer hitting your parched tongue is simply priceless. However, beer alone does not do the job. The smiles across the table, the silly conversations, the one dude on the table pretending to be intellectual, people hooking up and plans made for after the bar etc is all hilarious and exciting to watch.

I am debating between a run tomorrow morning and beer tonight. It is a difficult choice as both of them give me the same rush of energy. The only difference is you feel good before you start drinking beer and feel like shit after the drink. On the other hand, you feel horrible when you first start running but after the run you are extremely happy for the entire day. Difficult choice right?
