Ran into somebody in Ballground
Cold ride to an old haunt
Another cold ride
Run in the morning
Finally solved the cold fingertips problem
Got myself a pair of heated gloves. Heated not from the motorcycle battery but two rechargeable battery packs in the gloves itself. I should have gone for a size smaller, I think – but I will manage.
The hands were nicely warm and toasty through out the cold ride today.
Next target – to see if I can ride when the temperatures are in the 30s!!

It was a bit cold, yes…
Sunday morning 10K run
One of the best gifts ever!
I had just finished wrapping up the Board meeting when Matt Moore asked me “Can you swing by my office for a second?” I figured there was a quick piece of business to attend to.
Instead, he gifted me with this longboard! One of the best gifts I have ever received. He is a long boarder himself. And certainly one of the most empathetic, thoughtful person. He had seen form my posts that I was trying to gain skills in skateboarding. We had talked about long boarding during many of my prior trips to SFO.
Today, I am a proud owner of one.
Matt was kind enough to suggest that he ship it out to me instead of lugging it thru the airport.
I can’t wait for it now to arrive in Atlanta and commence learning more skills!!

Guess who I ran into?
Today, I did one of those one-way runs. Instead of looping back to the starting point, I started from home and planned to finish up at the Starbucks where the old running group – Chalupa – would gather for coffee after their run. Sharmila was going to bring me back.
At some point, I entered the Greenway trail and by my math, I would reach the Starbucks about ten minutes after the group had reached. You can then imagine my surprise when I saw the whole group posing for a picture in the trail. I did my best to photo bomb the picture with hands flailing and tongue sticking out!
Once I caught up to them, I had the familiar request “Aamader ekta chhobi tuley debey?” (Will you take a picture of us?) đŸ™‚
Finished the rest of the segment and reached the Starbucks, predictably ten minutes after they had reached in their cars.
