My little gift to everyone for the festive season.
This is based on one of my favorite quote by Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin and Hobbes

Oh look, yet another Christmas TV special! How touching to have the meaning of Christmas brought to us by cola, fast food, and beer conglomerates. Who’d have ever guessed that product consumption, popular entertainment, and spirituality would mix so harmoniously?

Long overdue post. I ran my first 5k marathon 31st May 2009. I know 5km is not long for some people, but it’s a big achievement for people like me. I’ve been walking than gradually mixing with running since Feb 2009, some 4km for 5 days a week. So I was excited, when the Sunfeast Bangalore Marathon was announced. I was part of Nike Run Club regular running club at Kanteerava Stadium every Saturday. And thanks to coach Beedu Sir all for the advice and helping us reach the goal. Thanks Nike, still couldn’t believe all was for free, and YES for interested folks Nike Run Club starts again from 13 July, 6:15am every Saturday, Kanteerava Stadium, Bangalore.

30 May 2009. Last day of training. Former 100m world record holder Maurice Greene. And 1982 London marathon winner’s Hugh Jones.
