We decided to escape from the annual horrors of the Diwali pollution in Delhi, and so we’re in the Himalayas for a few days, staying with friends in Mussoorie. Last night it poured down, absolutely threw it down. At one point, there was the mother of thunderclaps and the room …
It’s that absolutely horrible time of year again, here in Delhi, where I live. The pollution gets so bad, with the AQI plunging to dangerous levels, that it is just too damned dangerous to run outside. It was so bad today that we even wondered whether or nor to go …
Hmm… Just checked my mileage on Garmin for October and it was more moderate than I thought – a mere 177.61km. Somehow imagined I’d’ve done more. In my own defense, I did hurt my toe a few weeks ago (still hurts a wee bit, if I’m being honest) so I …
Remember I introduced you here, a couple of weeks ago, to one of my cyber-running-buddies, the ageless Dickie Longo from Louisiana? Well, dear Dickie managed to run a REAL race this weekend, at the North Shore 5k. And, as usual, he swept most of the honours, winning several categories. What …
My UK-based friends Katha & Dave are still jaunting their way around southern England on holiday, and in today’s guest post Katha chats to us from the Cotswolds. I remember Cotswold villages as being ridiculously pretty and scenic, so it was a joy to revisit them here – and (a …

The lovely Kathakoli Dasgupta has been sharing, day by day, her UK holiday, since Covid-19 put paid to Vietnam, where she & Dave had planned to be right now. So instead they are touring southern England, and Katha is running and sharing the sights & her interesting discoveries with us …
Today we re-join Katha who is on a UK holiday with her husband Dave – remember she told us yesterday that they should’ve been in Vietnam at the moment? But 2020 being what it is, Katha & Dave are exploring the UK instead, and today’s instalment of their non-Vietnam holiday …
One of the most loyal contributors to this blog is the lovely Kathakoli Dasgupta, the young woman who was one of the reasons I started running in the first place. Last week, while I was up in the cool hills of Himachal, Katha sent me another guest post from the …
Now we all know that running mates are the best, right? Running buddies are the ones who GET you. Who cheer you on. Who celebrate your success. Running friends are also the only people awake at unearthly hours of the morning & free for a chat, and who never seem …
