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

Overwhelmed

If I've said this once, I've said this a hundred times. But I still can't come to terms with the overwhelming response a simple email or note gets. I was trying to explain this to a friend the other day, how everyone wants to contribute and share their success, how deep down all of us people are actually good and kind and caring. It's hard to imagine but I still feel it's true. I sent out my 2nd round of notes to people on Facebook, talking about my run for a cause and within 30 minutes I had 4 people coming forward to contribute. Just like that. It's unexplainable, humbling and all in all a delightful feeling.

I've raised Rs. 62,000 so far and I hope to touch the 100,000 mark again like last year. I think I will.
