Running Kaveri Trail Marathon 2011 I did a half marathon (21 km of running) at Kaveri Trail Marathon again this year. I trained with Runners High again this year, and without them, I wouldn’t even have been able to focus on the run. Work has kept me so busy that I would’ve easily
Running Ran a half-marathon in Dharwad According to the Runners High program for this week, I was supposed to run 21km this Saturday. But I’m in Dharwad for various reasons, so decided to run that today. As I like to say, “You’ve not really explored a city until you’ve run in it.” And
Running Kaveri Trail Marathon 2010 The Goal I ran the Kaveri Trail Marathon two Sundays ago (Sep 19, 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. My personal target was to finish 21KM under
Running 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 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,
Books 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
India Bangalore Ultra Marathon 2008 Sunday was the day of the second Bangalore Ultra Marathon. Had to get up at 3AM in order to reach Cubbon Park at 4:30AM for the buses to take us to ‘Our Native Village’ resort in Hesaraghatta. We reached early at 6AM and were waiting for the day to
India 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
Running 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.
Running 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.
Books Hitting the books It was Day 2 of my trip (Dec 23 Sun). My plan was to go in the DHL balloon so that I can get a good view of Singapore. When I reached the MRT station, I suddenly got interested in randomly walking around. I really wanted to see the place.
India First Bangalore Ultra Marathon Today, I caught the 4.45 am transportation to get to ONV for the first ever Bangalore Ultra Marathon where people can get to run or walk 26 or 52 or 78 or 104 km. A true endurance event. I participated in the 26K run. I can’t even imagine
India Why I am not running the BSNL Bangalore International Marathon There has been a lot of press mentions lately about the BSNL Bangalore International Marathon which is going to happen tomorrow.

India Midnight Marathon The World’s First Midnight Marathon took place right here in Bangalore on Saturday midnight. It was held in the area surrounding the iGate office near ITPL. Niara and myself had decided to run the half-marathon. We didn’t even think about the full marathon because we have had no
Running Keep on Running I chanced upon this wonderful song by Eliane Elias: I’m not afraid All is forgiven Coz after all What’s done is done Move on with grace Slippin’ to space And when I’m ready, I’ll sing my song Follow the silence far from the sadness Leave all
Running Forty Two I completed the full marathon i.e. 42 km on Sunday in the Bangalore International Marathon 2006. Well, barely completed. After running the first 21 km in 2.5 hours, I was elated at my good timing, but then the worst thing (for a runner) happened – cramps. I just couldn’
Running Running Today, I achieved 34 km. Yeah, my stamina has improved. Here’s some of the “running gyaan” I’ve collected over the past few months: * Learn to listen to your body * Learn to distinguish between feeling tired or just feeling fatigue, feeling the need for water and the need to
Running Marathon postponed The Bangalore Marathon has been postponed from May 14 to September, 2006. This is so disappointing. I had not participated in last year’s marathon because I wasn’t fit for it, but I had made up my mind to participate this year. So, I’ve been training with a
