I’m going to answer my own question with an almost-flippant counter-question…as in “What did I NOT see on my run today?” I am in Bangkok, by the way, and set off to do my scheduled training-plan 10km early this morning, before it got too hot and humid. PLUS I wanted …
My lovely UK-based friend Kathakoli Dasgupta met her (now) husband here in Delhi, thanks (largely) to our running group…nah, truth be told, Katha met Dave thanks to one of the lovely gals in my running group, but we were ALL part of their budding romance and we ALL decided (on …
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 …
