Ran KTM again this year. First 17 km I did good. Last 4 km was a killer. So exhausted that I’m planning to not run again until I lose weight.

Kaveri Trail Marathon 2010
The story of my journey to Kaveri Trail Marathon 2010. It was a marathon worth remembering – the preparation, the anticipation, the great set of friends I made, the beautiful trail that we ran in, and the D-day performance!
Marathons in India in 2010 H2
I’ve seen so many people in the recent months who have expressed interest in running, but never start. Forget what shoes to buy, forget what fancy GPS devices you want to buy, forget about monitoring your heart rate, forget about tracking sites. You don’t need those to START RUNNING. If you want to run, thereContinue reading “Marathons in India in 2010 H2”
Running 10K at Auroville
It had been a really long time since my last run, nearly 8 months ago. I was out of shape. So, we decided to register for the 10K at Auroville Marathon as an incentive to get back to running shape, and, boy, did it work. In the last one month, I had become fairly regularContinue reading “Running 10K at Auroville”
Duathlon and Murakami
Last weekend, I participated in the BSA Hercules Duathlon organized by RFL. I did the 10 km running + 20 km cycling thing. I was the last-but-one guy to finish and I did take twice the amount of time as the first guy to finish. But I didn’t care about that. I expected to finishContinue reading “Duathlon and Murakami”

The Sunfeast 10K run
I did the Sunfeast 10K Open Run today. I finished in 1 hr 10 min 26 sec. Finally, a timing I am happy about. Best of all, it was a good run. I didn’t have any of my usual performance anxiety symptoms, mostly because I made sure that I didn’t plan or think about theContinue reading “The Sunfeast 10K run”
Why You Should Run
One fine day, I was running by myself. It was a few weeks before Barcamp Bangalore 5. I got an idea that I should talk about a non-techie topic at Barcamp since I’ve been giving tech talks for the past few years and I wanted a change of pace. I brainstormed many ideas on theContinue reading “Why You Should Run”
Dream Running Route
I have this notion that you don’t get to really know a city until you’ve run in it. So, I ran a couple of times in my Singapore trip, and I liked the route so much that on Day 13 (Thu, Jan 03, 2008), I started taking photos. I start right from getting out ofContinue reading “Dream Running Route”
