I started running a few years back well after most people stop running - as I crossed over to my 40s. At first it was a way to control my ever changing (upwardly mobile) weight. Most of the running in those early days was on a treadmill. Soon I was running 3 kms and boasting about it to one and sundry.
I kept thinking about the transition from treadmill to road and kept dreading the time I would have to take the plunge. Now after a few years of running below the belt, four half-marathons (personal best time of 2hrs13mins) and one full marathon (you don't even want to know my time - 5hrs26mins) under the belt. I can start doling out platitudes to all the would be runners of this world.
As I have made my progress the biggest challenge has been to get proper advice, network with runners like myself and find sources for the right running gear in India and my locality. But above all I have started obsessing about running. My dream is to motivate people around me to run with the slogan - Run India Run !
Shortly I start my new site (and venture) www.runindiarun.com. Keep a tab on the name.
Running in India
As I have made my progress from a sedentary lifestyle to walking and now running the biggest challenge has been to get proper advice, network with runners like myself and find sources for the right running gear in India and my locality. But above all I have become obsessing about running. My dream is to motivate people around me to run with the slogan - Run India Run ! Shortly I start my new site (and venture) www.runindiarun.com.
