I went for my first boxing class today.

Yes, my body hurts - in a good way though.

Jab, jab, left hook, right upper cut... shadow boxing is fun.

Salt Lake City Half Marathon, Salt Lake City, Utah - April 19th, 2008
1153 out of 3819 total half marathon finishers
13.1 miles in 1:58:57 - approx 9:04 minute/mile

For detailed results, click here.

My new pair of running shoes - New Balance 768s absolutely rock. I've barely run 20 miles in them (this run included) and I am in love with them. I'm going to give them another 20 or so miles and then go out and buy the same pair again.

Coming soon:

You know, finding that special someone is well... special. And when you find that special someone, you do whatever you can to hold on. You love her, hold her.. cherish her (all the thing's that Bryan Adams talks about). And importantly, you be honest - to her, to yourself and to the world.

But then, take [info]jugga, my Mallu half brother (no, not by blood) - a lying cheating clean shaven dog if there ever was one. True love has at last found him and yet he will not openly admit to it. He has broken several hearts ([info]amitng and [info]kalyan come to mind) on his way to semi-adulthood but now that he is willing and able to do his 'tour of duty', he will not let his 'close' friends in on the truth.

This is, as you can well imagine, sacrilege. As his friends, we do *not* deserve this.

I hereby propose the following:
- Superhero JV stop messaging us 'Hey Baby' type messages. He is now a committed man and should start acting like one. Enough with this flirting. I know some of you will find this painful, but it really is time to move on
- Juggi takes action to correct the lies about himself on Facebook and Orkut
- Juggi grow back his mustache (why? ask [info]bipingm, a fellow Mal)

I know there are additions that you would like to see made to this list. Please feel free to add *any* as you see fit.

ING Georgia Half Marathon

So I ran my second half marathon - ING Georgia Marathon and Half-Marthon in the lovely, rustic city of Atlanta, GA. The course was much more difficult than I'd imagined actually - plenty of elevation changes. That combined with the fact that I was breaking in a new pair of shoes meant that my running time was not as good as I'd hoped it'd be - I finished with an approx time of 2:10. The good part - my recovery time this time round was limited to just a couple of days.

Next up, I run the Salt Lake City Half Marathon in Salt Lake City, UT on April 19,2008.

Current Music: Thermal and a Quarter - How Can I Get Your Groove
Ya know, I don't really follow kannada music. But this song is so good that it may just make my all time fav list.

Jasmine, Pinky and Rockstar - step forward and take a bow. *clap clap*

Current Music: Thermal and a Quarter - Holy Jose
Dear Lazyweb,

I recently bought a new pair of running shoes and am in the process of breaking them in. The shoes fit great but my right shoe seems to be a bit loose. This is not something new - my right foot just seems to be a bit smaller than my left. Now, I could always take care of this problem by buying another pair of shoes a half size smaller than what I own and mix and match but since I am not a rich guy (like [info]kalyan) nor a rock star (like [info]derherr), I will have to come up with something else.

Please help.

Lovingly yours,
Ashwin

Current Music: Thermal and a Quarter - How can I get your groove?
I just read on Gaurav's blog that the 4th Thermal and a Quarter album - This is it - is about to become available for general consumption (yay!). For now, you can listen *all* songs online on the TAAQ MySpace page. Check out the album cover below:



Thermal and a Quarter to me are the *original* Indian band. It is the first Indian band that I fell head over heels for. Motherjane, Colourblind, Orange Street, Cryptic, Phenom - all good. Really good. But Thermal started it for me. And still does it for me.

Go get the album people. Now.
