Writing about Running

A diary, mostly about running, by Aseem Vadehra

Early before Travel

This morning I woke up exceptionally early because I had a flight to catch. I hoped to do a treadmill run.

In bed, I blinked a few times, debated to sleep in, and then dragged myself out. I decided to skip the coffee and instead got on the treadmill as soon as possible.

I began very slow and ended at slow too. Listening to Sapiens, I stared at my reflection in the window – the night would only give way to dawn a couple of hours later.

When I had warmed up enough, I increased the speed ever so slightly, keeping it well under control. I decided that I would get off the treadmill in just under an hour – the length of the chapter I was listening to.

It worked out reasonably well albeit that it was a shorter run than what I had planned. All things considered, I accepted it.
