Today as I sent out good luck text messages to my fellow runners who were on their way to Pondi, I felt quite sad about not running the Auroville Marathon myself.
I have always believed the decision of pulling out was driven by good sense. May be that is what it was but then when the race day dawns, you always wish you were out there running by yourself as against cheering the runners from the side lines. Sigh
Having said that, this is the time to focus on my training which appears to be progressing quite presentably other than the fact that I need to spend more hours per week at the gym.
Looking forward to the next weekend where I am participating in STRIDES OF HOPE. STRIDES OF HOPE is Santhosh Padmanabhan's mammoth 48 hour run in Bangalore. The event is aimed at bringing about awareness about the work of the ASHA FOUNDATION which Santhosh actively supports and a need for a healthy lifestyle and running as a sport to improve fitness of the country.
This event will be supported by large number of Ultra Marathoners mainly from Bangalore's running community who will run with Santhosh through the 48 hours.
Good luck to all associated with STRIDES OF HOPE!
Check out the details about the event and be there to cheer all the runners. Come run along.
