As I trotted my way slowly down Raj Path this morning, I heard a familiar voice greeting me. “Hello auntie” came the cheerful greeting from a man I’ve talked about before. He’s clearly some kind of a vagabond, who lives on Raj Path, but he’s always super cheerful and we …
This whole running thing just doesn’t stop, does it? When I started running in September 2013, as a bucket list thingy, I never, ever expected that it would lead me in so many different directions. And I’m not talking running routes here. I’m talking metaphorically. From thinking that just the …
Today’s gem from Coach Vijay Shukla. He’d called on me to demonstrate a drill – high knees – to the group, and I was trying to get out of it, saying I couldn’t lift my knees that high. Quick as a flash came the reply,”If you have knees, you can …
Get to bed just before midnight. Alarm goes at 4.45. E-x-h-a-u-s-t-e-d doesn’t even come close to describing how I felt. But having skipped yesterday’s ASICS Running Club informal run, and spent all day regretting it, there was no way I was missing this morning’s run in Nehru Park. Best decision …

Jeepers creepers but it was hot and humid this Saturday morning, as I was reunited with my ASICS Running Club tribe.  It’s a miracle they let me back, the way I’ve been missing sessions… 😛 We met in Nehru Park, our regular Saturday morning hangout, and did another tough session …
Today I hand the reins of this blog over to one of my fellow ASICS Running Club members, the gentle and always smiling Dr Balbir S Gandhi. When I saw photos on our Whatsapp group of a few of my (sweaty 😛 ) tribe members who had run together this morning, …
This morning, despite the heat even at 5.30am, I went for a long run with some of my ASICS Running Club friends, and what a run it was. I am under no illusions about my running ability. I can run, but not that fast, and the brutal fact of the …
Today, the reins of this blog are in the capable hands of the dynamic Gurpreet Wasi, a Delhi-based running friend. Let me explain. On Facebook today, Gurpreet shared photos from a brilliant initiative by the Super Sikh runners of Delhi – a great bunch of runners who go way beyond the …
