Of 5k runs and Satsangs

This weekend was kinda interesting. I get to do two things that I have not done before. One was a 5k run and the other a Satsang from the Art of Living.

For someone who has been running for health and hobby, running in a semi-professional setting was very different. Inga neraya peru odraanga. Thaatha, paati, Nai kutty pidichuttu odra iruvadhu vaiyasu ponnu, kozhadhaiya stroller-le vechu thallitu odra amma/ appa... These people have a fine way of blending social-life with workout. Austin-le indha running-kku panjame illa, enna onnu, oru thadava indha madhiri race odanum-na 15-20 dollar selavu aagum! chumma onnum oda venam, t-shirt, thanni ellam kuduppanga :). Anyways, ennoda first 5k, i finished in 30.33 mins (10 mins/mile). Paapom, samatha practice panna innum nalla oduvennu oru nambikkai dhaan!
