Wiki-Page

After trying out Pmwiki and looking at Meta-Wiki, I have decided to go with meta-wiki for my website.

The reasons for choosing meta-wiki are,
1. It is cool.
2. It is the wikipedia engine.
3. Documentation and Support.
4. Login creation by default.
5. Web-install.
6. Talk page is also available as default.
I can easily add more reasons to choose meta-wiki. 
This is by far the easiest software installation over web. Check out  My Wiki-Page.

Food, Inc.

I watched Food, Inc. It has changed the way I look at the food or the food industry in North America. Watch Food, Inc, before you eat your next meal. It has helped me look beyond the curtain, drawn delibrately to hide what are the origins of the food that you eat.

Training Plan - LA Marathon 2011

This training plan follows 10% increase of the total mileage per week. Also, the long runs cannot be more than 50% of the total mileage from last week. The day before the long run is a rest-day. The day after the long-run is for cross-training. The longest run during the training period is 26 miles. I have added this after reading Jeff Galloway's book, "Marathon!". The running is restricted to three/four days per week. This increases the mileage consistently during the week-runs.



Legend for the table.
XT - Cross Training.
PT - Physical Training.
R   - Rest.
% Incr - % Increase of Long Run.

Pegasus-27

I got Nike - Pegasus yesterday. Thanks to Runners High shop at Long Beach, CA. They were very helpful in finding me the right shoe.  I have my center of gravity towards my left feet and I put more pressure on my left toe. My old shoes wear pattern was even. I had tried the nike lunar glide and zoom triax (stability shoes), before choosing pegasus. Pegasus is a neutral shoe without the arch support from nike. If I still have problems with the left toe, I plan to get the meta-torsal support for my shoe. My previous pair, nike-air, lasted for 462.81 miles. Its is being honorably retired for day-to-day activities.
