Trip to India : Part 2

Today I bought my air tickets to India. I will be flying on Malaysian Airlines, economy class of course. The ticket price for a return flight from Kuala Lumpur to New Delhi is RM 2,003. I also saw a travel insurance plan at the travel agency and filled up an application form for 31 days "VIP" plan. I was a bit surprised to see it was quite cheap at RM 70 for 31 days. I remember way back in 1998 when I traveled to Indochina (Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam) and Thailand for 5 weeks, I paid RM 200 for a travel insurance(different company).

I managed to run a bit this week; Monday (5 km) on a treadmill and Wednesday (3 km) at KLCC park. Wednesday's run was quite unforgettable due to the severe soreness of my right knee. I had to stop running after 3 km although I still had the endurance to keep going. My knee was very sore on Thursday and as of today, it is still quite sore. After that unpleasant experience I wondered why I was still doing it (running) at all.

Today I managed to run 3 km on the treadmill instead of KLCC park. My right knee is not as sore as during Wednesday's run. It looks like I have to limit running to a treadmill. I am planning to stop running during the fasting month (Ramadhan) in September. Together with next week, 2 weeks plus in India, 4 weeks of fasting and 1-2 weeks after that, I won't be running for about 2 months.
