Training is good, just cold. I run early in the mornings. This morning was -2°C. Dis 10km this morning and felt great.

@Johann: Surprising, but probably true. Thanks for the link, I did read this on the Comrades forums too. So, how is your training going?

Hi Tanvir

I'm surprised by the fact that no runner from India ever finished. You can read a story from a runner from India that didn't finish before the cutoff this year at this link: http://www.alsoranrunners.info/amitsheth.htm

Thanks Tanvir, I doubt I would ever run that much distance as these 5kms run makes me long for oxygen.
Anyways my support is for all the runners who are running Comrades. Lets create the history…

@Neeraj: Sure, you are most welcome! Garmin works everywhere, as long as the satellites stay in the sky, any GPS device would work, Delhi or Mathura, or even a smaller village, without charges for life. So, you have your inspiration now… go Run!

Hey Tanvir,
Good job on creating the group. Can I join it even though I am not running Comrades 2010,

I have a question to ask you. If you have Garmin 305/405, does it work in India for free like US or do you have to subscribe to some service and pay for it.

Even though I never run with a GPS device, I want to buy it for my upcoming India trip so that I don't slack much and keep up my weekly mileage. Another stupid question, does it matter if you are in a big city like Delhi or small town like Mathura on the reception of satellites?

Thanks,
Neeraj
