Crescent moon today too. But the star has moved to the centre of the crescent. I am late for the dog-walk. Moon goes home. As I step out for the run, I see two young teens, in conversation. The boy holding a small teddy bear with a red heart. Enjoying the togetherness after the school exams, I presume. As I jog and turn, a young frisky puppy (my friend) with his master sees me and…

A sea of runners on the cemented path, I slowly and steadily moved to…
Start of my tryst with running
Started running as part of practice for the big ride next week. It is been really long since I ran, 36 yrs to be precise! After getting a feel of running over the last couple of days, did my debut run of 3.6kms in 22 mins today. Loved it. Especially when Julia, the voice of Runtastic iPhone app said 1km done and then 2km … Looking forward to getting to my first milestone – 5km.
