Hi folks, I guess everybody must be aware of the mumbai Marathon,going to be held on 16th Jan 2005. Hey guys, why cant there be a group Linux runners,all clad in Linux themes. Good publicity for both Linux and our Bombay group. As venky rightly said "What makes Linux so popular is the community around it"............and its us !!!

It's a good suggestion if u are very fit and have VERY GOOD quality shoes and a correct running style. Running on tar roads only a few kilometers is very likely to screw your knees and lower back longterm without the last two. Also the entry form date is long over. Can't u have a virtual run with everbody pressing the right arrow key and their mug shots lurching forward ;-). Or a live stream from the race course. BTW one of my friends from the dojo is running the full marathon. Inspite of being very fit last yr he was out of action for three days after the half marathon.
