As well as a zillion peacocks dancing, and a pair of jackal, and a couple of kingfishers, and stray dogs galore, and the usual earlybird walkers and runners in the Aravali Biodiversity Park, this morning I saw a gentleman collecting berries from a bush. He does this most mornings. He’d already …
This morning was humid. Why am I saying ‘was”? Still is. Big difference is that now I am inside my study, with the A/C on. This morning I was out running in what my phone app assured me was 89% humidity but felt more like 300%. Actually, from the screen …
Today’s atmospheric running image actually comes from last night, if you see what I mean. This photo was taken by my cyber friend Harminder Singh (we Instagram, we are taking part in the same #100days challenge) – so, yes, Harminder has been running at night a lot lately. I’m not a …
Sonam, one of the young ladies in my running group, posted something to our Whatsapp group yesterday. It was this quotation – above – from John Bingham, and it certainly resonated with our group. We all started as total novices in September 2013, a group of women who had never run before, …
Remember our very own marathon man, Piyush Shah, who I told you about a couple of weeks ago? The laconic, low-key gentleman from Ahmedabad who is attempting to run 100 marathons in 100 days. As one does. He’s just completed his 64th marathon this morning, by the way. As one …
Today it’s Bastille Day, le quatorze juillet, and so it is entirely appropriate that your running photo of the day comes to you from France. And what a photo. C’est vraiment magnifique. This fab photo was taken by my friend Chantal Wanten, a Belgian friend via Johannesburg. We hiked together …
A few days ago, a lovely lady who runs and blogs, Anupriya Kapur, shared a blog post about avoiding stray dogs when you are out running. I read the post, noted the many helpful comments and tips, and stored all the advice away for future reference – hoping, of course, …
If any of you have ever watched in awe as the elite runners zip past you at the speed of light, then this article from Britain’s Financial Times is the perfect read for you, this wet and windy Sunday. Well, it’s wet and windy and overcast and very humid here …
I have a lovely, terrifyingly accomplished friend who lives on a farm in South Africa’s Western Cape. A championship rider who also runs and writes a blog and is writing a book. And of course she loves dogs. Yes, quite. What’s not to like about Sarah Arnot? On her morning …
Actually, he didn’t. (But, as an aside, he does so love my smelly post-run socks). So, no my daft Golden did not eat my running shoes, but this was my attempt to turn “the dog ate my homework” into a legit excuse as to why I didn’t get get up …
