Running in IIT Madras

Visiting IIT Madras in January 2011 provided a great boost to running. With the weather warm but not oppressive, running was fun. Quite a few times I went from the main gate to Taramani and to Velacheri gates- a total of around 8 km. Running on Madras Avenue was interesting- a path I had not checked out during my undergrad days.

Staying in Taramani Guest house meant waiting till about 6:30 for the coffee boy to deliver a small cup of coffee. The run started around 7AM. The long run took a total of around 45 minutes. There were a few other runners but quite a few walkers. Running in the evening a couple of times meant seeing a different set of runners.
