It was a pitch-dark morning: with just a ray of hope (not of light), I started off on my second marathon;
Running along the countryside trail,
Cherishing the early morning chillness, yet feeling the warmth of the host,
and the drummers cheering us the most,
I successfully completed my 2nd Full Marathon (42.2 kms) at Auroville !
My knees are aching, I am adoring it;
My thighs are paining, I am relishing it;
The pre-race fever and the post-race puking, I loved them both,
For, they bettered my forte.
Yes, As I grow old, I will be a stronger Marathoner!
Happy Running,
Durai Murugan
