Here's what running 10 Kms taught me about life

(5 min read)



I have been running since a long time. I started with 2 Kms or fun race during my school days. In college I used to run 3-4 rounds of my university's football ground. I always loved running long distance - it was fun and relaxing at the same time. After running several 5 Kms, I got the confidence of running 10 Kms. I must have participated in around 10-12 different races of 10 Kms in Hyderabad and Kolkata, and now I feel I should start running half marathon (21.3 Kms.).

Running is the one activity that’s physically exhausting but mentally and emotionally recharging. People run for various reasons. They run because may be they want to lose weight, improve their health, compete in races, or try something new. I have my own set of reasons.
