AM - in Bangalore India. Easily the most unusual chaotic place I have ever run. Our local company guy told Richie and I that we could venture off the site of our hotel and office and that we would be safe to run along this road with "nice pavements and woods." Clearly we did not have a mutual understanding of those terms. I would describe this as a trail/adventure run. There was no "pavement" or sidewalk, but instead a dirt path with holes and concrete and various utilities (electric etc) amongst street dogs and people and garbage and livestock and gagging smells and....We sort of ran when there was room, and jogged to avoid obstacles and stopped at times for photos. This area is about 3000 ft in altitude so it was not as warm as Mumbai - but the pollution and dust was really crushing to Richie and his allergies. All in all - a good slow easy paced run - good for a start to tapering.
