Running with nothing!

The title may seem like "nothing on":-) but I guess I know better than to streak in the rain at this age. It seems like ages when I recall the time when I was told by Fr Bonet that a guy and girl had actually streaked across the basketball court at St Xaviers, in 1976! Well, its time to stop reminiscing and getting back to what I meant.

I slept just about 4 hrs and woke up coughing due to the mild chest congestion that has afflicted me from too many runs in the rain. I then decided that since I was sick and short on sleep, I might as well find out whether its possible to run without even having my morning cuppa. It seems like self-flagellation but I guess I like to do this to myself so that I can live some "spartan" moments in my own life.

I ran an easy 45 mins and returned in time to kick start my "bullet" and take Bryan to his school-bus stop. It felt nice to do the run before dropping Bryan. I could then enjoy my morning breakfast at a leisurely pace rather than the frenetic pace at which I go about my chores and end up eating in the car, on the way to office. The run must certainly have dropped my blood sugar but I guess I did not feel it cause I ran for just 45 mins. Dan, why don't you cut out the crap about spartan existence and just admit that you are doing a retake on what went wrong for you at Thane! Well, now that you've confronted me, I must admit its true; but, how did you know? Elementary my dear Watson.
