Feeling good

The sky changes colours very early these days. There is already birdsong at four thirty in the morning.

For weekday runs, I had been going nearly always to track but today I went to Nehru Park. My sister Roshini had intervals and I had a regular time on feet.

Early on, there were already a couple of runners around the main Shanti Path loop. The traffic low, the air still but the weather wasn’t unpleasant. Or perhaps I was getting acclimatised to the summer of Delhi.

After a loop, I built up speed; on this occasion listening to music too.

When it was done, all comfortably, I felt elated. The post run feeling is often great but sometimes, like today for no apparent reason, all feels right, if momentarily, with everything. So it must be true too.
