Speed runs
Since Roger always slows me down (Roger, if you are keeping zinger count, let me help you – it is Rajib: 2, Roger: 0 🙂 ) I figured I will put in a faster run before I meet up with our Sunday morning Bengali runners. Went to Fowler park and put in 5K at 8:25 pace which is plenty fast for me.
Not sure what got into my Bengali friends today but they showed up and suddenly started running like some mad Kolkata street dog was chasing us 🙂 We finished our 5K at 8:19 pace!! Needless to say, at the end I WAS panting like a mad Kolkata street dog chasing Bengalis 🙂
Speaking of speed runs, we ran into the real speedster Heidi from my old running group. As she blew past us, I think she thought we were out on a casual morning stroll 🙂
Starbucks time!!!

Great snakes!!
5K run in light drizzle in Milton.
Nothing else to report .
Discounting the fact I stepped on a live snake by mistake. That put a quick end to my running on grass. Immediately switched to asphalt 🙂
Based on how each of us darted our own way in a hurry, it was difficult to gauge who startled whom more 🙂

Too early for a puzzle?
I know it is only Tuesday but I am on my flight back home and there are two of my friends who have sent me puzzles that I thought can be posted here…
This one comes courtesy of Amrith Kumar. I sent him an answer – but I have not received confirmation whether I am right or not. So, we might have to wait till he publishes the answer.
Think of all the 4 digit numbers ( leading 0s count). Essentially 0000 to 9999. Now pick only those numbers where the first two digits add up to the same number as the last two digits. So 1533 qualifies as does 0312 and so on.
You have to prove that the total of all such numbers (if you add them up) is divisible by 3 as well as 11.

Have you ever seen this?
Terminal B at Washington Dulles airport.
There are two Starbucks literally facing each other!
One of them (the left one in my panorama picture) has name and logo written in white and black (the other one is in familiar white and green)!!
The one on the left serves wine!!!
Why one would go thru the hysteresis curve of waking up with coffee from the green Starbucks and then doze off with the wine from the black Starbucks, beats the heck out of me 🙂

Sunday morning run
A beautiful morning in north Atlanta. Cool and cloudy. Perfect day for a run. The usual suspects – Samaresh, Arup, Manas and myself were there. Rupak, in spite of threatening to, did not show up 🙂 We missed Speedy Gonzalez Amitesh for the run (partying too late) – but he sprang a surprise by showing up for post-run coffee. And he bought us coffee for missing the run 🙂
