  • Summer Reading: Back on Track

    Back to reading in full swing after many half-read, unread books. The year started slow-mo in reading. Didn’t have a finished book for the first couple of months. Races and travelling were to blame. I also blame the poor choice of books. Even my audio book credits were unused for 3 months! Post- Two Oceans…

  • The Colours of March

    Are we over with winter already? Is it summer yet? There seems to be sunshine to bask in. Yet there is a nip in the air… sometimes a bit colder like today! And then the colours… haven’t they changed? It’s not grey anymore! Ready to leave the cold and freezing days to the warmth of…

  • Competitive Vs Motivated

    While I moved from the half marathon training block to marathon training block (the race is in January), I had some time during the recovery weeks to reflect on the past weeks of running and plan ahead for the January race. I was itching to get started with the new block and my physio asked…

  • Getting out of the house on a hot, humid morning is a win!

    The rains in Delhi never seems to end. With occasional rain and heat and humid rest of the time, the weather is craziest ever. Ever since the summer started I have been planning to get up at 4, start run at 5 and later relax. But with this humidity it doesn’t matter if i run…

  • When it is hard to find motivation!

    Yeah, some days! For someone who is too focused on numbers and goals, hitting a zero motivation patch is not easy. I have not run in two days and that is bugging me. Is the training block – however well is going – is boring me? Am I burned out? Are those minor niggles are…

  • Cattos in the neighbourhood!

    Looks like it is kitty season in my neighbourhood. Many cute furry ones walking around and being friendly. It could also be the rains, and they are looking for a shelter. Ran into this couple today; I may have seen their kittens yesterday! Hopefully one of them decide to adopt me :D. Tried some psspsspsps…

  • One of Life’s Greatest Pleasures is a Mid-Afternoon Nap

    There is something about taking a break in the middle of the day, closing your eyes, and letting your mind and body relax that can be incredibly refreshing. Working from home mostly for the past 3 years, I always enjoyed one one whole hour of lunch to include a short nap! Today is the 5th…

  • Kicking some motivation in at 5am!

    Kicking some motivation in at 5am!

    That’s me some days! Yes, I am a very passionate runner and I love running. I also love the process of learning and growing and building up for a big race! When I am in a training block, I am always looking to check that off the calendar in green and move to the next…

  • “My precious” – Runner edition

    To every runner, their gear is precious. Whether it is the hydration vests, bottles, clothes, shoes or even running socks. Not just because they are mostly expensive, but also running stuff is not like every day items and running is something special in everyday life for most! I am someone who takes special care of…

  • Racing someone up the hill on a random day!

    Will you race someone during your morning training runs? This is not a nice thing to do I know; but I happened to pass someone during my morning run that has resulted in a race uphill!! I should say I was completely not at fault here! I passed someone who may be felt like passed…
