"Good luck, my friend"
Simple words said in passing to David Grier on the streets of Mumbai. Grier didn't know the man, he hardly saw him, in fact, but that encounter was a sign that the madcap idea he was investigating - whether it was, in fact, possible to run the length of India - was something he had to do. With his hardy yet comical crew, he set off to run from the northernmost Hindu temple in the Himalayan foothills of Kashmir all the way down to the southernmost temple on the tip of India. Through mountain ranges and forests and across rich farmlands, dodging traffic, battling through smog-choked cities and across deserts and salt plains, fording rivers and running (unwittingly) through a tiger sanctuary, they ran and ran. Armed with a gps, maps and helpful directions, they got lost in India. But through its beauty, its heaving masses and the remarkable resilience of its people, they found themselves - 93 days and nearly 4000km later - emerging a whole lot wiser at their journey's end.
