Went for a run at Fowler Park. After my second mile, ran into Dan and Greg. They slowed down enough for me so I could post my life’s best 7:24 mile and then 7:40 and 8:00 miles. Then met up with Samaresh Mukhopadhyay and Amitesh Mukherjee and their daughters Paroma and Esha for a couple of more miles. Finally we put in a 150 meter dash at 4:43 min/mile pace. Afternoon nap cannot come soon enough for me 🙂

2 miless of rowing and 3 miles of slow running (yesterday’s PR has had an effect on the muscles 🙂

After a mile of warm up, my personal best 5 miles at 8:05 min/mile. What a difference flat ground and cooler temperatures make!! — at Big Creek Greenway Trailhead – Fowler Park.

10K on a gorgeous spring morning in Atlanta. Crisp air, cool temp, mild sun and “Says You” in the ears… — at Big Creek Greenway Trailhead – Fowler Park.

On July 4th, 2011, I ran the Woodstock Freedom Run. This was my first disciplined attempt after switching over to the minimalist run. I was not sure what to expect. Last time I ran in this race, the route was not full 3.1 miles – it was more like 2.9 mile. This time, the corrected it to cover full 3.1 miles.

Posted one of my fastest run at 7:45 pace (24 min 09 sec).

There were great festivities going on there. The mayor came and started us off from the top of the fire engine ladder which had extended from the road to the top of the main street intersection!!

On April 23, 2011, I ran my first run this year. I have been staying away from races as I try to master the Pose Method of Running. I am afraid, going for speed, I will fall back into old style.

It was the First Turtle Trot 5K at Cumming, GA. The money raised is to go to Tybee Marine Research Center. Melanie was there also in the race.

Posted a 24:18 time. The first half I was disciplined. The second half, I fell back to old ways 🙁

On Dec 5, 2010, I went to Dallas to run the White Rock Marathon. Actually, I ran the half marathon. It was cold and windy. However, the flat roads helped. It was awesome fun with 22,000 runners and thousands and thousands of spectators on the road. Including two news helicopters. Roger, Mita and Rajiv Roy was there. It was great to see how much Mita has picked up running. Roger was usual strong self.

I had my career best half marathon at 1:54 !! That is around 8:40 per mile for over 13 miles. That got me a rank of 1664 in a field of about 10,000 half marathoners.

We raised money for Scottish Rite Hospital who do not charge for any of their patients. The event was covered by WFAA TV and I got some live coverage as well as two appearances on WFAA-s home page! Hullor, Chico and some of their friends played the band near the 12th mile. Natasha was there with them too!!
