Well, in the good ol’ US of A, that is. Here in India, it’s just another Wednesday. I discovered it was National Running Day from my handy mapmyrun app on my phone, but only after I had come home from my morning run, so it was all a tad too …
This won’t be a very long post, since I am lacing up my running shoes and about to head out to run. In Delhi’s current 39C summer heat. And why would I do that, you ask? Actually you won’t ask, because most of you are runners. So you get it. …
Having become a total and utter running bore, apparently, in the last 18 months, the time has come to put my money where my mouth is (or should it be where my feet are?) Whatever, this blog is the result. A blog that I hope will be a fun …
So there was I, this chilly December lunchtime, out for a run in Lutyens Delhi. The pampered, protected heart of our nation. Supposedly. As I ran past the National Museum on Janpath – totally in the pampered, protected heart of our nation etc etc – I noticed 3 teenage boys …

Last week a group of 6 of us went to Tadoba National Park in Maharashtra, and it was totally brilliant. Unbelievable tiger sightings. I will put up specific blog posts on the park anon. The park is closed on Tuesdays, which is the day we arrived, so after flying Delhi …
I went for a run a few days ago in my local Biodiversity Park, in what passes for an upmarket part of Delhi. I have recently discovered this park and have blogged about it earlier, but my latest run was a mixed bag of emotions. Delight to be running, as …
