@Priyanka Agreed!

@Ramjee Don’t know of any runs in the immediate future.

@Aarthi I hope I’ll get to being regular as you are, sooner rather than later!

Cycling is a big NO as you said for many obvious reasons.

“purpose walk” is simple. Walk with a purpose. walk to just tick the distance meter is barred because of lack of fun. it tempts to walk around a field and I felt it boring.

Some “purpose walks ” I did recently were:

  • from Whitefeild to City market to buy vegetables for the entire week. Back to home in bus.(18kms)
  • Gokarna to om beach(10kms)
  • Chickmagalore to Aldur(A subtown enroute Sringeri), 20kms

if you could somehow share your “running” playlist , either down loadable or just the track names (including kannada), it would be a great for fellow , non-gym, non-swim fitness aspirants.
