Friends, Muscles, Marathon-men ....

Today has been a great day for us, as one of our blogger friends, Kavi, ( who has featured often on these pages)  completed the full marathon , a grueliing 42 kilometres,  in the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon 2012.  It's is not easy in a place like Mumbai, designed for bad traffic and long commuting times, , to keep up with place specific and time specific practice.  All this while doing a typical high power corporate job .

A strong will, aided by a disciplined routine of practice,   supported , always, by an enthusiastic family back home, yields wonderful results.

I always thought HR meant Human Resources.  I now find out that it means resources within a human....

This is an ode to the those :-)  that made it possible

The excited Biceps Femoris
suffused
with an oxygenated red,
nudged the Semirtendinosus
into action;
The Rectus Femoris
and the Vastus types
were signalling
that it was time...

The weather was cold,
but
they were warmed
along with
the Adductor Magnus,
and the Gracilis
not to forget
the Popleteus
and the Flexor Longus..

They nudged
and pushed
and fit
into one another,
with
the Heart conducting
the
Orchestra of the Red,
beaming oxygen
across the scene,
sweat
dripping all over
in appreciation,
of
a dedicated plan and effort,
hard work, pain,
and practice
by
a poetic chap.

For him,
a CEO
of the Body Company,
where the
internal recruitment
was
so excellently done,
the HR fellow :-)
needs to be congratulated....
