Powai Run 2023: 10 km

 


Some yearly events prove to be a testing for one’s physical fitness. 10 km run (which is actually walk for me) has become such an event for me in past few years. Thanks for the soul giving me this reality check – my brother, Abhijit Tannu. Abhijit has been into running for years, but Vivek n myself participate in this yearly run though we r not regular at exercising. It was the third year this time … had missed 2022 in between as all of us tested COVID- positive that time and it took many weeks to get over the resulting weakness. This year it was Powai Run 2023 on March 05, 2023 … first time for Vivek n I to participate in the live event with so much energy around. Here are some glimpses of we completing the run this year as well as earlier years.

There is also some statistics of my pace of completion … 2020: 9’52’’; 2021: 10’ 27”; 2023: 10’ 17”. Thus it seems better than 2021, but have to really work had to reach back the performance in Jan 2020. This time every body part is making its existence feel through aching even until two days post-run. This is an indicator of how much more attention is needed towards physical health though there is a satisfaction that at least the distance of 10 km at one go could be walked. Happy to remain connected to school sports in some way or the other.  

Am looking forward to the event next year.
