Marathon Training Schedule
I am going to miss the Delhi Marathon, Mumbai Marathon because I didn’t do enough training. Now I don’t want to miss the Chennai Marathon which is happening in Feb, so last week I sat and prepared a training schedule for myself. Well I did my first run last week and fell sick after that, I will wait for another day or two to get better and will start continuing my training. Not sure if I am going to follow it fully, but defenetly spend enough time to put this together. I got the schedule from Hal Higdon and modified it a bit.

Sick!
This is the second time I had to get admitted to a hospital in the last six months. I have no clue what I am doing wrong here. This time it’s food poisoning. Had a really bad Thursday night, nothing stayed in my stomach and even if I drink water my stomach was hurting as hell. In the morning I couldn’t even walk properly, because of my stomach ache.
I decided to head to the hospital and get some drip to get some fluid in my body. The doctor prescribed some antibiotics and some pain killer and told me that this can be because of food poisoning and asked me to be on liquid diet and asked me to go home. I am little bit surprised. I am thinking, dude I can’t even walk, I can’t take anything orally and you want me to go home and take some tablets?? Then I asked him if taking drips will help, then he is like “yeah if you want to get admitted in the hospital we can give you drips”. Aren’t these guys suppose to tell me the easy way out of my pain??
Anyways… Got admitted and got everything thru drips for a day and I am back to normal, still on liquid diet for the next 3 days.
Got to be careful eating outside and also had to find a good hospital!

Another one bites the dust
One of my friend got married and I went to attend the wedding which took place in a small village near karaikudi in TamilNadu. The marriage actually took place in the girls house, yeah the houses were big enough to accommodate a huge crowd.
After the wedding some of my friends we went to take a tour of my friend’s house. The picture on top was one of the halls in the house. The house was built in 1918 and it has 40 rooms (yeah it has forty rooms). They don’t book any hall or hotel for any big events; they just conduct it in their house. They use their house only for that purpose, the rest of the time the house remains vacant.
Unfortunately we could get the keys to my friend’s house, but I was still amazed by the house.

Damn Stray Cows!!
Last to last weekend I was driving from Bangalore to Chennai. On the way I was overtaking a truck and I have no clue where a cow came from, by the time I realized that there is a cow running towards my car it was too late, I already hit the cow. It was just a minor accident.
In Delhi they are even using high tech to control stray cows. (BBC)
