Running - My goals for 2009

I plan to capture my personal journey on this blog.
I set me a personal goal of doing a half marathon by the end of this year. Going from less than 1 KM to 21KM will be an interesting journey!!!

On putting this goal down, I realized I needed some support and so reached out to Bhasker for help/advice. Bhasker connected me to Dharma and I went running last week.

I did 4KM!!!!
There's nothing more motivating than quadrupling my distance. Success is soooo.... addictive - especially success that is genuinely won. I think we are just hardwired for it.

Incidentally Dharma's running again soon after an appendectomy and he went over to do the half Marathon at Mumbai this Sunday. Now that shows commitment. I hope I can match that.

Also... I don't think I would have achieved what I did without Dharma's and Bhasker's help.
