Writing about Running

A diary, mostly about running, by Aseem Vadehra

800s so many at Nehru Park

Today I heard that Gaju wasn’t in town. It had been raining incessantly and Coach Ravi told me on the phone that the track might be flooded. I took a u-turn and went to Nehru Park. It continued to rain on and off. But the rain abated around the time I began the 800s.

I did most of them in Shanti Path, up and down, seeing some of the regulars, waving hellos.

It’s amazing what bad shape I am in. But it’s possible to thoroughly enjoy the intervals and put in the goods while knowing you’re nowhere close to where you need to be. That felt great.
