Dear reader,

February was the longest month on the road so far: eighty-five kilometres of racing and training. A 25K training run on the Sinhagad hills, the IPA Neerathon 10K in Pune in 55:28, and then the one that mattered — the Tata Ultra Marathon at Lonavala, fifty kilometres in a little over seven hours.

A short post asked, half seriously, why I am running this much. I still do not have a clean answer; the running seems to be how everything else gets sorted out.

On the shelf, Make Time by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky, reviewed on the blog. Nemade's Hindu came up in a short post too, and the question of what Khanderao's inner conflict really was. I wrote about the digital self in an AI world, about the timidness of time, and about the 50K itself.

I also built RunLog, a small tool for keeping those kilometres, and heard Atish Dabholkar and Vivek Sawant in conversation, with an AI Study Group at Aeka's Cafe in Baner to close the month.
