I have Shanghai based Tina Kanagaratnam to thank for this interesting post. I’ve only met Tina once, and that, too, briefly, on a “Historic Shanghai” walk led by her and her husband on our last visit to the city, but we had actually been in cyber-touch before that. Tina had …
A model of a tiger, dear reader. A model, not the real McCoy – so yes, please feel free to pause for a second, breathe in, and continue…which is probably what Paul Goldstein kept telling himself to do, as he ran the world’s highest marathon with a model tiger on …
I have to give a HUGE shout-out to the wonderful Kathakoli Dasgupta, my Delhi running buddy, now living in my native place 🙂 Katha is not only a great runner, she is a super writer (as befits her education and professional background), and she generously writes lovely happy running blog …
I have my lovely running friend Kathakoli Dasgupta to thank for yet another fab, chatty guest post. Katha and Dave moved from Delhi to the UK a few years ago, and you’ll find a reference to running here in Delhi in this lovely post 🙂 Enjoy! And now over to …
I am blessed with many lovely running friends (some of them are of the cyber variety, friends-I-have-yet-to-meet-in-person) who generously share their running photos here in the blog. So, yes, it is wrong to have favourites (I’m a mother, remember, so kinda know how to balance things) and I love every …
Well, yesterday, actually. And it comes from Liverpool, in the UK. Right, so to answer my own question – since when were there blue Santas – apparently it’s connected to Liverpool’s football colours. Still looks weird. According to the venerable BBC, and I quote, this is “believed to be the …
21.0975km in 57:31. That is what Uganda’s Jacob Kiplimo ran yesterday in Lisbon. 57:31 minutes to run a half marathon. 21.0975 km 13.1094 miles. Putting my “running reputation” on the line here, when I say that I would be delighted if I could run 10k in 57:31 😛 This truly …
I’ve shared with you here before guest running posts from my cyber-friend Myriam. Cyber, because although we are in touch, we’ve never actually met 🙂 Friend of a friend syndrome 🙂 Myriam sent me a lovely chatty update on her running news and, like all of us all over the …
This is 100% the story I need today. It’s a fab, inspiring story any day, but especially on a day like today – a day when I feel grumpy and headache-y because the pollution in Delhi (where I live) is SO bad that: (a) there is no question of running …
Imagine running 3100 miles/4989 kilometres. Yeah, I can’t imagine it either, but work with me here for a moment. Let’s imagine that you were indeed going to run this race. All 3100 miles of it. You’d be forgiven for thinking that the world’s longest race, the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transendence race …
