Hello there everyone! ?This is Anand with another update. ?It looks like Spring is finally out in a meaningful way. ?This is especially good for me, because I can actually start running in a t-shirt and shorts again. ?After having a ton of runs cancelled due to this year’s snowstorms I finally managed to participate in one of the runs I signed up for, in this case a half marathon in Kawasaki. ?For once I managed to get to the run with time enough to stretch and prepare which was good. ?On the other hand, I have barely done any running since December, which is bad. ?I suppose one cancels out the other. ?However there is one thing I didn’t take into account. ?Well, actually I was well aware of it, but I didn’t do anything about it. ?My shoes. ?As you might have read last week, my shoes were falling apart. ?I figured they had one more run in them before I retired them. ?However, that was a bit optimistic, because near the end of the race the sole basically fell off, essentially leaving me to run on one foot. ?I suppose with that in mind my pitifully slow time – 2 hours and 21 minutes – is not so pitiful. ?I do think that I need a miracle in order to make it through my 50k fun in less than a month.

There is one plus to all of this, however. ?I got myself a ridiculous pair of running shoes. ?Bright red, visible from Mars. ?They might be a bit much, but if I ever get sick of them I know that they will need replacing by next March anyway.

Until next time,

Anand Mohan
