Flu , toes and adrenaline

A shocker of a news http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/news/city/ahmedabad/IIM-A-student-dies-health-officials-suspect-swine-flu/articleshow/5067805.cms,
one of the lucky few who was moving forward towards a bright future on full ballast, as always fate remains cruel.
Indore itself is said to enveloped with the common flu and its effect is evident in the class as well, I can only pray not to get it.

My toes are stamped and have a skin tear on my left foot, guess that's the prize of spontaneous participation in a football practice, went in barefooted against studs.

Oh! the adrenaline , an awesome hormone which pushes you into unbelievable zones of activity.Have seen its power for the last month or so , but being constantly driven by it, isn't good news.Probably , with the possiblity of me falling sick , my body shut down its production or probably ran out of raw materials;), anyways I am running on normal carbon-diet and hopefully will not depend on the awesome-a for some time to come. Trying to tighten up my routine , but years of inertia are difficult to overcome, anyways I am King Bruce for now and I believe my random thoughts are geting expressed freely now:)

Nice Run after Sunset

Today was a day without any work to do. So , went on a longer run , probably about 5 kms. The cool breeze all along the way made it a comfortable exercise and I was happy to double up on the previous distance in two days , so 12 kms next week seems pretty easily doable , maybe I should set a time limit now. Went ahead to pound some pedals and this time smartly choose an easier mode to finish 5 kms in 16 mins. I am gonna make it a habit to pound some everyday , after all it takes just about 15-16 mins.

And here we go again....

Been ages since I stepped out to pound the road, a few enthu runs at the start of August and a total stop till yesterday. Finally went on a down-up round of the hill , legs felt perfectly alright and no sign of any pain (ITBS) around my left knee region, guess I am good to go :), came back and then went to the gym for workout on the stationary cycle ( can't rem the right term now). I pressed the start button without realising the program it was set to, as per Murphy it was set at the hardest and I had to push my legs hard as if I riding up a hill when I had just about finished running up one. Felt good to be cycling after about 3-4 months , the thighs were still in good shape to push through 5 kms in the next 18 mins, thinking of doing this atleast 2-3 times per week.

Well on the personal front, things have been changing a lot in the last few months, seems like I am on a roller-coaster ride of emotions. Enjoyed most of the last two months on the hill and expect to do a lot more in the coming time:).
