And with a quick cyber drumroll, I give you my new look running blog. I’ve tidied up, and edited, and streamlined, and generally revamped the look and feel of the blog. Quite frankly, you all deserve a medal for sticking with the old format of the blog, which, I now …
Since not many of us are able to run, during these globally locked-down days, I have decided to use this enforced down time to do some blog maintenance and house-keeping. Touch wood, I’ll be up and running (pun intended!) in a couple of days. So please keep checking in here, …
Whilst many of you have been running marathons inside your home during lockdown, I have not been as industrious nor energetic. No crazy impressive lockdown miles to report. Just 183.25km for a month of TOTAL lockdown. I would, however, like to mention 2 things: a) please don’t miss the .25 …
Sitting here in locked-down Delhi, the question I’m posing in the title of today’s blog is purely academic. For the moment, at least. Currently, I am “running” up and down my driveway, in 30m stretches, with only my 2 dogs for company, and even they get bored after a while, …
Every year since 2007 we have gone up to the Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh, where hubby fishes & I go for long walks in the mountains. We try and go twice, sometimes 3 times, during the trout fishing season. The Tirthan and Phalachan valleys are 2 of my most …
My lovely UK-based running friend Katha, who has contributed so many guest posts to this blog, has written us another post. This one is truly from the heart, a lovely bittersweet reflection on what social distancing means. But before I share Katha’s thoughts, I also wanted to recount something of …
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 …
