		<description><![CDATA[Yet another scooping rise from underneath &#8211; The water around blinds me out completely,  the leg craves for rest, but the mind defies succumbing to pain and the body just goes on in a sinusoidal motion towards a non descriptive goal. I turn around by instinct and damn the mind takes over; fear creeps in and I get back to the shores twice as deftly as I swam in to the ocean. As I sit on the shore staring out into the expanse ahead, the throbbing calf muscles stand testimony to what Running can get one to do! I&#8217;d just completed my second Half marathon earlier in the day and even before I could come out of the excitement, I&#8217;d already swum the farthest I&#8217;ve ever been into an ocean till date..Couldn&#8217;t ask for a better reward! Feb 13th &#8217;10 -19:15hrs. As I walk off from the 20 member group to pick to rick to head to the Pondicherry bus stand, I&#8217;m still in second thoughts. Four folks who were supposed to join me for the Auroville run decide to back off. I&#8217;m down with a sore throat and the flu only aggravates it. As I&#8217;m almost about to drop the flag, a message from &#8216;Chottu&#8217;  pops in my mobile wishing me a good run. I lurch into an auto and head to the Bus depot. A half an hour search for the right bus to Auroville and finally at about 20:30hrs I manage to hop off on the ECR....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whew!! 2h.17mins &#8211; That was one solid run!  With this I officially enter the league of serious runners and not to mention, I&#8217;m now one among those millions of half marathoners! Goal three for this year accomplished [Enduro3 and a Himalayan escapade being the first two.] Running was never something that turned me on. I never really understood why people ran kilometers in a stretch and I could never digest the fact that it would over time help you in reaching your goals. It was only during the Jalori Pass Mountain Biking expedition when I met Viral [Who still wears the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon wrist band!], I gave a thought to training for the Marathon. Back in hyd things soon faded out. Leave alone training, running as a hobby never materialized. Only in August when there was talk in the air of the second edition of the Hyderabad Marathon organised by the Hyderabad Runners club and the Hyd 10k Foundation, the guilt feeling of not training sank in. It was pretty late to start training so I volunteered instead. I&#8217;m so glad I did! It was indeed a wonderful experience getting to see the expression  on people&#8217;s faces as they were handed over their medallions amidst the thumping rock songs and tremendous cheering. Goal three got frozen right then! Training for the HM wasn&#8217;t that great. As much as I&#8217;d loved to join the HRC members for a good run, distance of KBR park from my house was a....]]></description>
