I resolved to go to the track. It has been ages, possibly months. I was worried about the pollution but fingers were crossed and I wanted to go at my usual early morning time and put in a solid run.
I hadn’t yet decided whether I would run outside or on the track but as I approached, I knew I just wanted to run the track. It had been a long time.
Lane Nine it was with Gaju and serendipitously I bumped into my friend Gokul and we ran about seven kilometres or so catching up, meeting for the first time in 2026.
After he left, Gaju and I continued and finished up fifteen at the track just as dawn began colouring the skies.
