Abs Swims, Bikes and Runs

"I may not hear the Rocky theme song, or see the sunset anywhere, but for me, this may be a sort of conclusion. An understated, rainy-day-sneakers sort of conclusion. An anticlimax, if you will. But the long and the short of it is that this kind of conclusion fits who I am. I didn't start running because somebody asked me to become a runner. One day, out of the blue, I started to run. Simply because I wanted to." Murakami

Putting it in perspective

Just to put things in perspective, here's the qualifying times for the Boston Marathon: one of the ultimate challenges for any runner. When this page loaded I audibly gasped. You will see why. If I ever qualify for this marathon, it will truly be something to savour. I am right now staring at a time of 4 hours 30 minutes in Bombay. Remember, I fall into the first age bracket for another 7 years!
