sunday long run

Joined the Nike Run Club today, Sunday, 22nd November, did a bout of intense stretching and ran for 89.24 minutes. Started opp the Parsi Gymkhana and went towards the NCPA end back to Babulnath turnaround and went up the Kemps corner flyover and returned back the same route, this time culminating in Veer nariman road junction. Felt could have gone further...

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Just finished reading this Mark Twain satire about a yankee travelling back in time to the 6th century in King Arthur's court and his accomplishments there. It was a little too long, i thought. Pretty much bamboozled to know about slavery and its ugly side in those years which was truly hideous. Are'nt we lucky to be living in these years with internet, google, ipod et al.

fartlek

Did a fartlek today, Thursday, 12th November, 2009. Started with an easy jog of about 18 minutes, then did five rounds of fartlek, which means for a distance i upped the pace and jogged easy for equal distance, all the while increasing pace progressively upto the last round, which was a longer fartlek. Finished with an easy jog for about 15 minutes. This was the third day in succession i was running, after a long time, last times being in Uganda, where i was running 6 days a week on a beautiful course, skirting a golf course, overlooking the Victoria Lake.
