Chasing KIMbia

When feeling down or lost or aimless, run.

When feeling otherwise, you could read http://www.chasingkimbia.com/

And if you need to know why, read http://www.chasingkimbia.com/about

As the site tells you, KIMBIA is derived from the Swahili for "to run"

And I thought it was bad enough being beaten by the Kenyans. For those who didn't know, last year's New York Marathon was not won by a Kenyan. It was won by a Brazilian. Tipped off from http://thinkingrunner.blogspot.com/

We now have a new verb in our vocabulary KIMbia.

For those who want KIMbia this Sat and Sun and plan for about 20 miles (8-10 on Sat and 10-12 on Sun) mail me. Nagaraj and myself plan to KIMbia in Bangalore's Lalbagh like every other weekend.

Update: One alert blogger corrected the earlier post where I had said that a Brazilian had won the Chicago Marathon.

It was in last year's New York marathon that a Brazilian won the first place. It was not in Chicago marathon.

Thanks.
Correction made.

I mixed up stuff while reading the TR blog where it said that KIMbians had not done well at the Chicago run and that the Brazilian had won NYC.
