Would definitely love to join you guys once i get my own transport as i live at the other end of corniche atm.

pindal, have a look at their website here http://dohabayrunningclub.webs.com/
It says that they run 10km (5km to and fro). 10KM at the moment is definitely too much for me. Guess i'll use this time to start on the routine.

Not sure where to get a good pair of running shoes as i am also looking around. Saw the usual addidas, nike brands in city centre and villagio. Am also looking for a sports armband for my mobile. If anybody can advise where to find one, that would be helpful.
