In a few hours, the New York Marathon will begin. I’ve never run it and not really been tempted although after reading this laugh out loud article, perhaps one year we shall beckon each other.
Meanwhile, on home ground, again at Nehru Park, I set off for my Sunday long run. A dusty orange sky began to push out the darkness twenty minutes into the run. Runners everywhere although lesser than before the Delhi half.
I ran alone, waved to several recognisable faces, and stuck entirely to the Niti Marg – Shanti Path loop.
Increasing the pace and putting on headphones during the latter half of the run, I kept it moderate and manageable while just nudging that boundary to round off a classic Nehru Park outing.
