I live in South of Bangalore close to Art of Living. Mostly around there, Nandi Hills, kaveri Trail, Savan Durga, Around Hesaragatta, etc., where ever there are beautiful long trails with a few hills thrown in.
Why do you run?
(Not necessarily in any order)
1. It feels sooo good when you stop because it hurts soooo much when you run. ( Endorphin Drug Addiction reason?...masochist reason?)
2. It is the easiest way to keep in shape (Epistemological reason)
3. You can (almost) eat whatever you want (Gluttony reason)
4. If Animation or conscious motion (De Anima of Aristotle) is significance of life and the lack signifies death, choose to be be Animated (run) and Live. (Metaphysical reason)
5. To revel in the feeling of BEING in tune with your inner nature and the outer while running (Ontological reason)
6. Impress beautiful girls with athletic abilities (Deluded reason)
7. See beautiful scenery traveling and running in beautiful and exotic places around the world (Teleological reason)
8. Freak show material for popularity at parties (Perverted reason)
9. To watch Surya Bhagavan as he chases the darkness away with the first rosy flush of dawn. (Exalted reason)
10. To collect nice T-shirts of impressive races from around the world-wear and be proud (Narcissistic reason)
What is the longest distance you have ever run?
80K (American River 50M, Sacramento-Auburn, 2003) and 125K over 5d (3 marathons) in Rajasthan, March 2008.
What is your personal best timing? (please mention the distance and time)
