Again and again. So many runs on this road. But just like so many other roads over the years. These roads become my intimate friends.
We instantly started off on a fast note – a whole bunch of track kids and I – out from the track parking to the L shaped out and back that makes perfect 90 degrees when I review it on the Garmin map.
Checking off a mile at bakhtavar chowk and then pushing the accelerator. A bunch of them peeled off, racing ahead.
I was fine where I was. Fast enough for a so-called easy run. The weather was much better than yesterday so we pushed on, settling into a rhythm of each kilometre about five seconds of the other.
Going hard in the final stretch, I yelled out to Coach Ravi saying we would do ABC’s in the parking lot.
At home, it was a full workout starting with the bars and then moving into a steady circuit of to round up the morning.
