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 …

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 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 …
At the weekend, here in Delhi where I live, the government announced that they would start fining people for not wearing a mask in public. Rs500 a pop. Like so: We are in the middle of a dreadful health crisis in Delhi, with frightening projections of how the Coronavirus pandemic …
One of my oldest running friends (as in length of time known, most definitely not age) is the lovely Priyamvada Kowshik, who was part of the wonderful, all-women Couch-6k group that started me on my own running journey. I saw a smashing photo of Priya on Instagram this morning, messaged …
