I’m in my birthday week, and it’s A Big Birthday. One that makes me shockingly old BUT (thinking positively) one that also puts me in a new age category in races – which is an aspect of ageing that I’ve only been acquainted with in the past decade since I …
My lovely running gal Kathakoli Dasgupta has contributed many guest posts to this blog (including this one from last year, also about running in a sari 🙂 ) She chats with us here about a recent run in the UK where she now lives, and how/why she decided to run …
Some of my friends are total rockstars, and since it is is International Women’s Day, it seems totally befitting to give a shout out to one such rockstar – the one and only Kathakoli Dasgupta, a young woman who has been part of my own running “journey” since Day One. …
