In the Aravali Biodiversity Park, I saw a dog having a kip on a charpoi (string bed) lovingly covered up by his owner, one imagines. The owner of the shoes, perhaps? So, go on, then, what did YOU see? email me: christineannepemberton@gmail.com and I’ll share the memorable moments of …
Let’s hear it for Chen Penbin who has just finished his 100th marathon in 100 days. What an achievement. Too phenomenal for words, so I think the only thing to do is to let the man speak for himself : “We can achieve what we want!” is what he yelled as he crossed …
In an ideal world, we would all have that precious hour or two of “me” time, when we could head out for a run, on our own terms and at our own convenience. Off we would go, and no-one would be affected by it, no compromises would have to be made, and …

I live in South Delhi, so the Aravali Biodiversity Park in Vasant Vihar is quite close, but even for people who live a distance away, this is a good place to run (despite the totally unenforced sign at the entrance saying “No jogging”) because you get to run through a …
If you want to run in one of Delhi’s most beautiful spots, running though greenery and past historic monuments galore, then head straight for the beautiful Lodhi Gardens. You know that over-used cliché, describing somewhere as an “oasis of greenery” in a city? Well, the Lodhi Gardens really and truly …
Having fessed up this morning to a complete stranger that I am a senior citizen, and then, (in order to share the story), to all of you, too, I was chuffed to read the following story online this afternoon – about older athletes having a younger fitness age. Yaay! Go …
