I am extremely fond of hearing the captioned statement from a friend, who says it each time he finishes a run and hence there could be no better title for a post on running, I thought. Also, I think I have begun to understand where he is coming from and the profoundness of it.
While I have never been completely off running/jogging in the last 2-3 years, I must admit I have never relished it more than now- thanks to my friend (addressed as "teacher/coach" by me, while running :D ) who is oh so passionate about running that it almost rubs on to you instantly and easily. I have known him only for six months now and running has become an integral part of my life or at least I think it has.
The Monsoons are here and its been pouring like crazy in the maximum city, hampering our running schedule on most days and so we have started valuing the run even more. Today for instance, happened to be a blissful day in terms of running. Thankfully, the rains decided to take a break and give us one too this morning, so we headed for our morning run to Bandra Fort after a long time. I realise it isn't accidental that my day went off so well today. This phenomenal day I had, has to be attributed to the lovely start which set the tone right.
I am guessing the passion that my friend has for running explains how good a runner he is. To him, 'running' is synonymous to 'solution to every problem in life' and a lot more. Here goes in brief- he is bloody good at it and I am trying hard to just be at it (as of now). All I know is this - I too have learnt to buy my peace for the day now!
