One of the best things I have learnt from running is that it gives me time to think and enjoy my own time. When I travel, since in general I do not like parties (totally opposite to my younger days!) I tend to spend time in the room in front of the TV. Now, my new found hobby is keeping me engaged.
The only bad thing is after the run, I was so hungry for Indian food, I called Dr. Bala in Houston, an eminent cardiologist to give me some suggestions. He was nice enough to give me a good list of choices, but I chose the wrong one!
Well - so crossed the 6 mile mark this week!
Quote of the week:
"A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more. Nobody is going to win a 5,000 meter race after running an easy 2 miles. Not with me. If I loose forcing the pace all the way, well, at least I can live with myself."
I always loved running... it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs. ~Jesse Owens
