Running at picturesque locations is fun.... I ran in Nashik, from College Road to Sula Vineyards and back on Sunday.. This coincided with the Annual Nashik Run yesterday, where about 5,000 of Nashikites were running! Great! When you run, the world runs with you :)
Timing Update
Anyway, the timing update for this Sunday (10/01/2010): 16.5 km, 94 minutes... think i was enchanted by the scenic beauty near Sula vineyards.. Or may be coz we ran at around 10.00 am, which was a bit sunny...
Positions
Plus, I have two more bets.. 1K in favour, 1K against.. (While Sourabh has bet in my favour, my office colleague Alpna thinks otherwise!) So the Odds now are 4/16...
The Cause: Green Revolution Ver.2.0
The Cause for which I am dedicating half of the winnings is planting /maintaining / transplanting trees in Nashik. We (My brother Nilesh, his friend Shekhar and our team of youngsters to be precise!) have already planted more than 1,000 saplings over the last 8 years, which have grown into green shady treees.. Now the aim is to increase the coverage and help survive those which have taken roots.. We are buying a water tanker for watering these plants during the difficult summer months (part funding the cost of a second hand tanker Rs. 20K). Anybody who is not aware of the work over the last 8 years is free to come and visit my place..
So here is an appeal for the greener and cooler world..! Rush ... Raise the stakes...
