About the Blogger

An endurance athlete turned a novice blogger. A girl with a story, passionate to share her life changing journey on becoming a self-trained marathoner and a long distance runner.

An Indian, a city lover, now living in a small town amidst the cornfields in the Midwest, USA. An explorer by heart, most of her childhood was spent playfully involving herself in every extracurricular activity that later became a skill, which represents her attitude and perseverance to achieve every goal. A professionally trained Indian classical dancer since the age of 6, she also aced every inter school table tennis tournament. When she got time from her professional training, she played tennis and swimming as more of a hobby!    

Running was not on her sports column, until one day a close friend raved about his experience as a runner. Enthralled, and more curious about his passion, she allowed her friend to influence her into picking up this new hobby, and help her take her initial strides, and keep at it. At the age of 23, running which started as a new hobby turned into a challenging habit. Captivated and consumed by it, running became the focal point in her little world. Being someone who is most likely suffering borderline ADD, she ran her first 10K with hardly any training, soon after that she registered and started training for her 13.1 miler. Having run a few half marathons over a couple of months, she decided that it was time to make her mark at a full marathon. With just 7 weeks of training, she ran her first marathon in India during a scorching summer. She is currently training to accomplish a 70.3 half iron-man. Like any other sports person, she has travelled through her share of injuries, challenges, obstacles, and self-doubts. A huge believer of affirmations, this blog is a dedication to her belief, and an initiative to help readers motivate themselves to RUN and also seek fitness. This blog is nothing more than a mere narration of short stories from her life. She writes to give her readers a sneak peak into her endurance lifestyle. Endurance sports is no longer a passion outside work, it is a lifestyle change that she is fond of, and has largely benefited from.
