13.1 Chicago...my 10 mile experience.

First and for most my condolences go out the the loved ones of the young man who passed away after running the race. It's extremely sad. I also hope the others who were taken to local hospitals for treatment are OK.It was hot out there, hotter than I expected it to be really. I met a couple of friends by Millennium Park, to take a shuttle down to the start/ finish at the South Shore Cultural Center. It was humid and warm at 5am, so I was drinking Gatorade Endurance Pro and water on the way. I wasn't freaking out, but was antsy...general pre-race nerves...

Coach Jen wanted me to warm up easy, and then after an hour to pick up the pace to my pace for 1/2 Madness next weekend for 45:00, and finish the last 15:00 easy. ...

I asked Coach Jen what she thought, she in turn replied and asked what I thought my stretch goal was, or my BHAG (big hairy audacious goal) as I like to call it.I thought about it for a few minutes and replied...an 11:00 pace, faster than any of my training runs and faster than my Shamrock Shuffle pace. That'd put my goal at 1:50:00. Coach Jen did say that if we have heat and humidity like Sunday and yesterday we'd revisit, but as it stands now...that's the goal....
Mile sure mera
2010-02-04 11:28:00 Exactly 2 decades back when 'mile sure mera tumhara' was created by Suresh Mullick, the brief from the then Prime Minister Shri Rajiv Gandhi was to infuse national integration through a strong film. And the film truly achieved it by bringing the different religion and colors across India by using well known celebrities from sports, films and music. All this was supplemented by composing the entire lyrics with rag bhairavi and driving home the message India is one.

“mile”stones
2009-08-25 16:03:00 Most recent Milestones: Milestone #4 Occurred yesterday. See the odometer above? Since beginning this blog in the summer of 2005, Ive walked just over 4,000 miles. That equates to an average of about 83 miles that Ive walked every single month, for 4 years in a row. Not bad when you consider that the average healthy person probably walks or runs less than a 1/10 of that. And btw, those 4,000 miles are above and beyond the regular walking that one would do during a typical day at home or at work. Milestone #5 …Occurred last week when I completed my 1000th walk across the Al Zampa Memorial bridge in Crockett,Calif. Walking that bridge accounts for more than 2,000 of those 4,000 miles . If you remember, my friend Melvin celebrated his 1000th crossing of that bridge just a few months back. Milestone #6 …After suffering a near fatal asthma back in August of 2004, my partner was told by the doctors, that I had less than a 50/50 chance of surviving another 2 years. ...

As a slogan, it beats "In God We Trust" by a mile. (Commutation 7)
2009-02-18 15:38:00 The local talk show guy, Sly In The Morning, was discussing some article that must have appeared in the paper complaining about the new "Sonic" restaurant that went up in our city recently. I don't know what the complaint was because I didn't read the story, but I was listening to talk radio for a bit (until I got exasperated by the callers and decided I didn't need that kind of toothache-inducing talk in my ears on the way in. I wish talk radio didn't allow callers, because they always turn everything around to Cuba or make up stories about something that happened to them that's too ridiculous to have ever happened.)But, before I turned off the talk radio and put on music, one caller made my day with a stirring recapitulation of what the U.S. Constitution is all about. Taking the newspaper article to task for complaining about a drive-in restaurant, this caller said:"This is America. We can eat where we want!"Bonus: If you click here, you'll find a bizarre website that i...

8,078 mile tour without oil change
2008-06-10 06:08:00 The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is not only more comfortable, powerful and expensive than the average 2+2, for example the Porsche's 911, a 2+2-seater is a coupe with a tiny backseat that is in some cases uninhabitable, it is the newest flagship and not counting the limited-edition, $652,000 Enzo Ferrari supercar, which is sold out from the company that has an extraordinarily emotional relationship with automobiles. Know what? The Ferrari Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is so impressive. Why? Because the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti owner?s manual recommends changing the oil after 10,000 kilometers (6,214 miles) or one year. The two 612 Scaglietti?s used in the ?Magic India Discovery? tour did about 5,000 kilometers (3107 miles) in testing and preparation for the trip, which brings their total to 18,000 kilometers (11,185 miles). Ferrari?s ?Magic India Discovery? Tour came to an end at the Gateway of India in Mumbai and the two Ferrari 612 Scagliettis completed their 13,000 kilometer (8,078 miles) tr...
