Hello Hadoop

Today I ran my first job on hadoop cluster. It was very simple. Just followed http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Running_Hadoop_On_Ubuntu_Linux_%28Single-Node_Cluster%29

I came, I ran, I conquered - Hyderabd 10K run

After snoozing the alarm between 5:30 and 5:45, I decided I should go for it.
Limping my way to office to catch the office bus to Hussain Sagar lake at 6:00 am, I was little bit scared if I will be able to run through the whole 10k. After athletics events from previous day, I badly injured my hamstring.
We reached the lake side road at around 7:00 am. It was heavily crowded like a political rally. We all were talking with each other and looking around for announcement. It was then at about 8:00 we realized that event we were suppose to run(amateur run) has already started at 7:10 am.

So we decided to different event(fun run) at 8:00 am. Soon after the start, I found a group of people who run at same pace. Then it was all fun as we crossed every kilometer.


This was the first time I ran 10 km at a stretch. My previous best was 7 km which I ran while preparing for this run.

That was another interesting thing, 2 1/2 months back we started this program '10 weeks to 10k' in our office. I was regular for the first one month, then I had no clue what happened with the program.
