Just as I was approaching Niti Marg, Philippe, coming from the other side, joined me. He had intervals but he was still on a long warmup.
I have seen him for years but we’ve never run together. So we ran together for about twenty minutes, talking about training, the impending Delhi pollution, masks, and why NDM is still the best race to break the three hour mark.
After he petered off, we crossed each other several times. He was gunning it. I ran easy, myriad loops, lost in thought about recent books, writings and essays.
