Lockdown FOMO. I have it. Oh yes, and I have it badly. And no, it’s not what you think. It’s not FOMO from not being able to run outdoors, or from seeing photos from British friends who can still head out and exercise. I mean, obviously, I am super envious …
In case some of you don’t know, India has been under lockdown since March 25th, in the battle to fight the Coronavirus. Here in Delhi, where I live, we have actually been locked down for longer. From 22nd March. So for 10 days this month, I’ve been “running” in ever …
Anyone else got running FOMO? Here I am, sitting on my Delhi balcony, in pin drop silence – other than for the birds, who are delightfully noisy 😛 It is raining. It is cool. It is quiet. It is fabulous and I keep thinking “It will be perfect to go …
Actually, that title is a bit of a misnomer. Because I’m still walking. Not running. My wretched torn meniscus is s-l-0-w-l-y healing, but it is definitely taking its own sweet time. So to claim I’m running is a step too far. Be that as it may, in these strange troubling …
I got a lovely message this afternoon from one of my closest running friends, & a frequent contributor to this blog, Kathakoli Dasgupta, the young lady who literally started me on my running journey, 6 years ago. Regular readers of this blog will know Katha & her husband Dave, whom …
Another month has already gone in 2020. And we even had an extra day this February – indeed we are still having it, as I write 🙂 Despite a spectacular meltdown last week, when I messaged my physio in deep despair & doom & gloom & tears, if I’m being …
February 1, 2020 I’ll spare you all the clichés about “How can it possibly be February 1 already? January has simply just flown by…” (See how cleverly I snuck those clichés in. after all?!) Anyway, for the first time since I started running 6 years ago, I have had a …
This guest post from the one and only Sanjeev Chhabra is an extraordinary account of a comeback to running, & what a comeback! Sanjeev donated a kidney 3 months before his half, so the physical and mental recovery involved is truly impressive. His story is also very funny. Thanks, Sanjeev, …
One of the nicest people in the Delhi running community is Navi Singh, who has, incidentally, written a few guest posts for us here. To wit: Navi never hesitates to pick up the phone and give me a good talking to about my runnning form – usually of the “why …
Feeble pun, I know, but hey! at least I tried. 2019 is almost over. The nice sounding 2020 is just a few days away. So taking stock of my running year isn’t a bad idea, as I sit in the waiting room at the physio. And if that doesn’t give …
