Worked out for an hour and then easy run with the young boy. Plenty of pickleball too.

This morning the young boy and I drove out to Nehru Park and ran an easy eight together. We picked it up towards the end. Rounded it up with fresh lime sodas at Fig. On the way back we counted no less than forty runners (this late) looping their way around the Shanti Path

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.

Rested today as expected.

Ran today after class. Not a super run. But a run nonetheless. Stamina seems to have taken a toll. Cough settling with the steroid.

Slept in. Needed to catch up on sleep. Plus been a bit under the weather.

Virasat finished last evening to a fabulous ending. Got home at a time that I would usually wake up at during Covid years.

It has been ages since I did a long run on the driveway. But here it was. The young boy joined me for a third of it. Pure joy.

Off today. Slept very late because of Virasat. Needed to catch up on sleep and other work.

Jumped on the treadmill this morning for a good hour plus. After that a twenty minute mixed workout rounded up the morning.
