A couple of late nights and I woke up feeling exhausted. Bags under red eyes, I made myself a coffee and felt only a teeny bit better. But more than anything I wanted to run.
I did a bit with the young boy, then with my friend Gokul, an easy, long loop around Nyaya Marg, Shanti Path, Niti Marg and Vinay Marg. I continued to oscillate between feeling good and tired.
I dropped Gokul to his car, meeting Shikha and continuing a similar loop with her. All this, unplanned, and I couldn’t be more grateful especially today.
We stepped on the gas, increasing the pace to reach that region of comfortable pushing and finished the run strong and longer for me than what was prescribed. I needed a good one and it finally came through.
