Sunday Run - 14th February 2010

Had a good run at Marine Drive today with the NRC. Had to go to collect my photographs from the post SCMM lounge event, which fortunately was kept for me. Running in Marine Drive has its own attraction, a beautiful venue, an electric atmosphere with so many runners going up and down, a scenic view of the Arabian sea and also the sun beating down gently on the open road.  Had a good workout for 61 minutes.
