Wear Sunscreen
I've heard about this phrase for quite sometime now and finally got to know what it actually means. In fact a fellow Asha runner's blog is titled on similar lines as well.
The article from Schmich was titled "ADVICE, LIKE YOUTH, PROBABLY JUST WASTED ON THE YOUNG".

The poem/lyrics in here.

Everybody is free (to wear a sunscreen).
Wear Sunscreen' was written by Mary Schmich, a columnist for the Chicago Tribune. Originally printed in a newspaper column, this now famous poem was e-mailed around the world, identified as an M.I.T. commencement speech by author Kurt Vonnegut. The false attribution was never explained, but the poem became an Internet favorite; it was later set to music and released on an album by Australian director Baz Luhrmann.

One Year and 1000+ KMs of Running
It was exactly this day last year, Nov 12 2007 that I registered in weeendure.com to log my running statistics. Exactly as of today I've run 1082.90 km. This was the time I started to run more seriously in and around colony parks.
Number looks little encouraging to me and by the end next year around this time I plan to close in on to 2500 KM. Though I've cycled enough but I've stopped logging about it. I'll be running the Ultra this Sunday for Asha and plan to do 25K in there.
Swimming still remains an elusive task and hopefully by 2009 I will learn to swim. So guys and gals get your arse off from the routine life and start running.

Santosh and his 24Hr run
Did an easy 5K today with Santosh from Asha inside Cubbon park. Mostly sticking to wonderful trails. Santosh will be doing this 24 Hour run and I'll be there full throttle to support him and partly to run with him as well. Way to go Team Asha !
Just starting to get a feeling that I should go for 50K. Lets see how things shape as the day unfolds this coming Sunday at the Ultra
