5K early morning with Karthik in Key Biscayne. It is a balmy 79 degrees!!!

5K in cool and crisp Milton. The sun now feels awesome on the shaved head 🙂 Extra hot latte time now!!!

5K on our Sunday morning Bengali run. Today, we almost doubled our team size with Arup Dhar and Manas Chatterjee joining us. The usual Amitesh Mukherjee and Samaresh Mukhopadhyay was there too. We missed Amitesh for the coffee though. It was a crisp cool morning with freezing temperatures but sun out in full glory…

After two days of running into and in rain, today, I waited for the rains to start heavily and then stepped out for a run! I am now convinced why I do such unintuitive things – I just like being an idiot :-). (or as my wife once said – “quirky”). Reminds me of a song by Nachiketa “Tobu ami boka-i hobo – seta-i amar Ambition” (‘I still want to be the foolish guy and that is my ambition in life’) 🙂

There is something extremely exhilarating to me about running in pouring rain. Not sure whether it is the feeling of being in Nature at its purest form or the sense of defying common sense or simply the subconscious making up for all those lost moments when my parents – of the “thanda legey jaabey” (you will catch a cold)” fame – did not let me go out and play in the rain 🙂
Anyhow, two consecutive days of running in rain. Best part was walking into the gym dripping and heading straight to the sauna and soak in 150 degrees of dryness!

Lovely morning in Johns Creek. Unseasonably warm with 64 degrees and light breeze. It is almost like spring is already here. Sunday morning Bengali run and Starbucks coffee with Samaresh.

Another of those 5K runs in the rain in warm (for this time of the year) Milton. The right foot is still bothersome 🙁

Some wise man once said “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get”. How true!
Two years back, this week in Jan was so cold and so much ice and snow that my car could not even get to the property gate. Before I could clear the last hill, it slipped all the way down off road and stopped between two trees!! Today, it is a balmy spring like 61!! Go figure!
A relative fast 5K run…

It was really really dark early morning. Couple of times I was not sure whether I had gone off road. At least I had a small tumble. Could barely see the lake. But all in all a good 5K by Oconee !

Have office meetings at Reynolds Plantation. Came earlier in the morning for a 5K run by the Lake Oconee. The lake looks so tranquil and beautiful in this cool morning….
