Now suddenly I am thinking about running 4 hours. Why? I always tried to run non-stop. I used to think that stopping is like wasting the whole effort. Well now I think about it - It is Not a waste if I stop. I can say now that if I tell my mind that I can stop and have some water in a long run, I can easily run well over 1 hour, at this time when I am just starting Marathon training. I know that in Marathon, I can stop and take some rest and move on. Thats a big phycological  edge.  Trust me.

I want to talk about my goals a little bit. I have one big goal - RUN THE MARATHON AND FINISH IT !! Don't worry about the time. I know that I won't be the last one to finish. That's important. How am I going to do it? I don't know. I am looking for best resources around. I just finished reading Haruki Murakami's - What I talk about When I talk about Running. Its a great book and its a simple man's dreams of being a fit runner while being a great novelist. I got it as an e-book and finished it twice already. I will hear it again and again as I go along the path of glory!! ( for myself )

There is another book I am reading - The non-runner's marathon trainer. I think it is very systematic training program which claims that everybody can complete a marathon. Its simple and they give a simple table to follow. I am not a non-runner but I think to run a marathon, i need to start from basics. I hope I will greatly benefit from this. I pray to god that this should turn out to be the right move.

The third one is "a good cause" that I want to associate with. There is one non-profitable organization - Asha  that works for under privileged kids' education. Their motto is run to educate! I like that. Its also associated with India - my native country.
