Bachao Mujhe!!!!! [ I love you all ] 5 ways by which you can help me

5. BELIEF - Believe that it is indeed me who is running the marathon. Most of my friends don't associate running with me. They associate Home run, Touchdown, Dunks, Potato and the couch with me. But I have decided to get up from the couch for the sole reason that there is a huge hole in it because of extreme usage.

4. GENEROSITY - The next time I visit your house, please make sure you give me ample food. Non-Greasy and carbohydrate rich foods are absolutely fine which means I can eat a three course meal with Sambar, Rasam and Buttermilk without feeling guility of being a sloth.

3. SUPPORT - I hate the Lakers but I watch all the Lakers games because of those *hawt* women in the sidelines. According to me, the fans and the supporters are a vital component of the participant's achievements. So, please cheer for me in spirit while I am running the full marathon in Chicago. If you cannot be in Chicago, atleast hire some Chic (for) go and fly her down to Chicago to cheer for me. It is all about motivation.

2. WISHES - Please wish me good luck in my efforts. I need a lot of wishes. Atleast 100 for every mile. So if you happen to read this post, please drop in a line for me in the comments section and also let five of your best friends know about my efforts. If you don't do so, then you will grow bald in five days. If you do so, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will split and one of them will walk into your life depending on your preference.

1. CONTRIBUTE - Almost everyone of us want kids to go to school. I am running this Marathon to support educational infrastructure in Nalbari District of Assam. Just like Rome was not built in a day, social development is a metamorphosis and this metamorphosis needs many many catalysts like you. So, please contribute towards my marathon and tell the world that "ILLITERACY AND IGNORANCE HAS NO PLACE HERE".

It would be great if you could contribute $1 or $2 for every mile of the 26.2 miles in the Marathon. To make a contribution, please click here

PS: A friend told me the only way he can help me in this marathon training is by taking me to a psychiatrist to check whether I have gone mad.  ¶ 10:23 PM 1 comments

RUNNING A MARATHON - MORE PRICELESS THAN RED SOX WINNING THE WORLD SERIES  ¶ 10:10 PM 1 comments

  Still Haven't found What I am looking for.... It is a strange feeling that I was humming

"I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for "

while I was doing my hill running this morning. It is a similar feeling to those NBA champiionship advertisements where Duncan, Iverson, Payton, Kidd all profess their love for the prize they covet most - The NBA championships.  ¶ 5:11 PM 0 comments

  11 Miles on Saturday - July 2nd 2005 We ran at Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge last week. 11 miles was the target. I ran it in two hours and twenty minutes. I was slowed down by Side Stitches and there were some steep gradients as well in the running course . I hope to get maintain a 11:30 to 12:00 minutes per mile pace for the Marathon and I have been consistently hitting this mark in all my practice sessions.

The one thing that I noticed in while I am doing these long runs is that water has never tasted so sweet. Especially, when you run the final stretch and your tongue is parched dry, you just run for the water. The tingling feeling that hits you when the water wets your tongue is something I would call "divine"....  ¶ 4:52 PM 1 comments
