Even if medical science fails, this human spirit will surely beat ALS.

Amitesh, Sharmila and myself went out to run a 5K at Fiesta Run to raise money to fight back ALS. Among others, we did this for Arpita’s dad.

Great crowd, great spirits. There were senior citizens walking and running, a mom pushing two of her kids in a stroller, couple of handicapped folks in wheelchairs, kids one fifth my age weaving past me… The endorphins were kicking in just due to the environment itself!!

Raced after a long time. The time was 25:26 (unofficial). It was not too bad by my standards.

Clouds moved in quickly

Early morning run in a nice breezy morning. The clouds moved in quickly. Thunderstorms are imminent, per the weatherman. Not that we need any more rain in Atlanta, but we can sure do with some washing away of the pollen.
Relaxing with my Starbucks now before another hectic week begins…

10K run this morning

5K by myself and then 5K with the group. Beautiful spring morning. The trail looked gorgeous. The men were thoroughly outnumbered by women in our group today. I recently read that last year, in US, nearly 2 million runners ran a half marathon. 61% of them were women!!!
