“First Trail Run – MatheRun”
Latest ArticleAuthor: Sharad Chaturvedi, Posted on Jan 24th, 2014.
Its now been quite a few days since I last updated the blog. I definitely have had the time to do so, just been a bit lazy cos there is just so much to write! A couple of important events/runs have happened during my hiatus and whilst my practice runs had not given me much hope, both the runs have gone off better than expected! So, let’s go back a few days in time to where I left off with the 2nd entry.
After the 10 Km Powai Run on the 5th of Jan, next one up looked quite daunting. It was a trail run over the unpaved red soil roads of Matheran, India’s most environment friendly, pollution-free hill station (no vehicles are allowed here) This of course means that there are numerous horses and the omnipresent red soil kicked up by their hooves! So much so, that the leaves of the trees by the main paths are permanently caked in a thick layer of red.
