Running Dairy closure for 2007..

Running to me occurred out of sheer Co-incidence, though I used to Sprint in college/School days.. Couple of things which aroused a desire to run and challenge my physical and mental Endurance is..
One: While I was in Sydney for a short while and it was winter and I guess it was time for some Marathon( which I was not even aware of) and found people running on the Highway in the Mid noon.. ( Of course the Sun light doesn't have an Impact and I still felt cold in the Mid Noon sun).. Was Wondering .. Have this guys gone mad.. then one of my local friend over there told me that there is a marathon in near future and you can see a lot of them running..
Two: My Ex-colleague's of which One is a Avid runner and who Inspired me and at times scold me still when I use a wrong shoe or Wear a Wrong apparel :-) .. the other guy is one who got Inspired by reading a book "Best Year's Yet"..
I started running Long Distance 5KM ,,graduating 1/2 Km every alternate week..well I learnt Running is 50:50 ( Physical: Mental).. all I have tell myself is .. hey man it's just 2km.. Now by God's Grace I can comfortable run an Half Marathon..( with a couple of water Breaks) ..
Then I got Hooked to a Runner's Group.... A crazy bunch of Nut's who wake up in the Morning and Gather at 6 Am when the visibility is as low as 10 Mt's at times !! On a winter day..
Well.. I was closing my my running dairy with a Half Marathon on Dec-30 .. of course organised by RFL folks.. The Good Thing is that this will be my last RUN of my Bachelor Hood :-) !!.. Ah.. I'm Getting hooked this weekend !!!
Hope to run Many more Runs in the coming year .. God Willing ....
