The kids have their day off on Tuesday. Coach Ravi was there with the solitary Nikhil. He decided to join me. Aaj continuous, he said. I nodded back.
After a couple of rounds at the track, we headed out to our usual L-shape out and back. At the U-turn, Nikhil was fading and took over the scooter from Coach Ravi who then ran alongside for a couple of kilometres.
Nikhil switched again to run the last section with me. All this was a bit distracting but I told myself to hold and be patient. After all, I had the company and a scooter that was evidently going faster at the last mile.
