Nice quick run in this fallish weather
Sub-9 minute miles for 3 miles. Beautiful Milton weather in this early fall. However, the hills were steep enough that I had to take a 15 second break to catch my breath. So far, September is going nice and easy. I think the muscles are recovering enough that I will shoot for another month of 100 miles of barefoot running in October.
The Indomitable Nikita !!
If you know me even in the passing, you probably know that I make friends with anybody and everybody 🙂 I always am curious to know the background, likes, dislikes, aspirations and so on of anybody I meet. Now, this habit of me making friends with total strangers in cabs, hotels, airports, bars, coffee shops and so on and then adding them on Facebook so I can continue to be in touch with them is utterly ridiculed and often outright trashed by my wife and daughters.
Nikita always warns me of “Stranger danger” – like I am a eight year old like her.
But the following conversation on Saturday was too hilarious. We had just come out of the restaurant where I made friends with this particularly nice server who has great aspirations in his life. Anyways, back in the car, Niki asked “Why do you make friends with everybody”? I said “Life is too short not to make friends”. Her immediate retort was “Yeah, and life is not a Facebook webpage either”.
I was totally stumped. 🙂
Run and Walk
Li’l Champs Niki and Sreya joined us today!!
8-year old Nikita and 9 year old Sreya (they are BFFs) joined us for the Sunday morning run! Of course the trusted Paroma was there as always. We had another surprise participant in Sharmila. Needless to say, the good old Amitesh and Samaresh were there for sure.
Everybody put in a good run. I walked with the Li’l champs. Before everybody showed up, I did put in a fast sub-8 min/mile 3 mile run to test out the hams. It appears that the hams are getting better – the lungs were totally tired out though 🙂
