This fabulous track “WONDERFUL” is now well & truly on my running playlist, thanks to my equally wonderful son who seems to know exactly what kind of music his ol’ Mum would like 🙂 And he is so right. With our family love for Africa (where we used to live), …
Having quite a wonderfully South African morning. By way of background – before moving permanently to India, we lived in SA for 6 fabulous years and it is one of the most wonderful places on the planet. So, listening to a running podcast this morning from SA, with the lovely …
It night seem an odd time to start tweaking my running playlist – seeing as how there are NO races on the calendar for the foreseeable future – but I am still doing it. Tweaking, that is. Not racing. For years I only listened to music while running. Then on …
Let me confess. In these very strange, very worrying Coronavirus times I am a) blown away by all these people on social media who are running half marathons inside their homes and b) am enjoying getting to know my running mates “differently”, if that makes sense. Yeah, you’re right – …

Not the biggest Eminem fan, I have to confess. And then yesterday, Tania Kumar suggested an Eminem song, “Till I collapse” to me, which she aptly describes as a power song for the last mile. And guess what? I LOVE it! The lyrics were clearly written for every one of …
Thanks, yet again, to my fitness-guru girlfriend Preeti Sethi Chima for this track. Preeti shazamed this song on Facebook (in the context of her wedding anniversary, I suspect!) but I also think it’s appropriate to the running journey we’ve all started “…can’t stop this thing we started You gotta know …
It’s now officially countdown time to the Delhi half marathon on 19 November, so in order to persuade myself that I am getting ready, I’m tweaking my trusty old playlist. Kind of running version of displacement activity 😛 I love my current playlist, but I also love adding new songs, …
