It was this photo on Instagram that piqued my interest. As quite possibly the world’s worst pusher-up (you know what I mean!) I was intrigued. From time to time I make a resolution to work on my push ups, do them assiduously for about 2 days, and then give up …
Another month in this strange Covid-19 world of ours. Although lockdown has been lifted here in Delhi, we still have restrictions. We’re allowed out to exercise, for example, but parks don’t open until 6.00, by which time it is already crazy hot. “How crazy?” do I hear you ask? Try …
Today has been a good day for running friends. This is the 3rd guest post today. All 3 from women friends. All 3 from different countries. And all 3 unsolicited (that means I didn’t nag and nag and nag these lovely gals 🙂 ). They all volunteered, the darlings. THIS …
My South-Africa based friend Sarah, who has contributed to this blog before (here, here & here), sent me some pictures from her Sunday morning run, where she tried (& apparently failed) to dodge the winter rain showers. Sarah runs with her dogs, in the hills behind her farm in the …
A couple of weeks ago, my UK-based girlfriends Katha shared some fun photos of scarecrows from her run. Yes. Scarecrows.

I was just ‘tidying up’ my iPad, ie closing down all the tabs I’d left open, & came across an article from The Times about the cancelled London Marathon, and how people had, nevertheless, marked the event, running it virtually, or solo, or in their back garden. The article was …
My London-based friend Alison who has been chronicling the wildlife and scenery of Richmond Park during her lockdown runs and sharing them with us here, has a super photo from her latest run. Will you just have a dekko at this handsome fella!! How gorgeous is he? From his cool, …
My Jammu-based running mate Dilawer Khan is a doctor who works in the town of Reasi, about 80km from Jammu city. I know this because he told me so, when I asked about his stunning running photo from last night. Since yesterday was International Yoga Day, Dilawer had official functions …
Following on from my post 3 days ago about people not wearing a mask while exercising in the park, I got several messages from friends who kindly sent me links to articles about the risks of running in a mask and/or the medical view of it not being necessary. Pauline …
