Writing about Running

A diary, mostly about running, by Aseem Vadehra

Out and Back

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.
