Writing about Running

A diary, mostly about running, by Aseem Vadehra

Lane Nine is My House

Earlier it was lane ten. Now because of the Garmin track mode limitation, there is no lane ten, so I run in lane nine instead.

On interval days, I run the first lane and love it especially when I’m running with the track gang.

They push me, I push them and of course in general they are so much faster than I am in the short distance.

In lane nine, I’m bothering no one. I’m doing my thing. Time on feet. Sometimes a bit of tempo.

Lane one is performance. Lane nine is out of the way from anyone. Lane one you better make sure you’re running.

I wouldn’t know what to do in those in between lanes.

As the night changed to morning, silvery light shone through clouds; all sorts of clouds filled up space in the sky.
