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

It's begun

Last Sunday (18th January) I ran the StanChart Mumbai Marathon. I spent 3 days in Goa soon after where I discovered Turtle Beach thanks to Lama Jr. I took the opportunity of a near empty beach to jog up & down the beautiful stretch twice over. I'd never ever run on a beach and the feeling is incredible. But that was about 15 minutes.

This Monday (26th January) I put in my first serious run post the marathon. A good 35 minute run with a strong finish. It felt awesome. No pain. No effects of all those beers. Dull pain in the knees later but I'm going to build up slowly.

The gym schedule is set now. Lots of boring, monotonous gym work lies ahead. Lots of work on the Core lies ahead. Lots of cardio lies ahead.

Let's get started. Destination 2010.
