Today after a long time I ran on a new trail, it was a welcome change from my daily path (where I happened to know each and every pothole and stray dog!!). Another change was that the new trail (Carter road stretch, in Bombay) is a dedicated track for people to walk (and also run), unlike my daily trail which is on a busy road. But Carter road is not really the best place to run as its been paved with very hard shahbad (stone) tiles. My shins got a heavy beating for the half hour I managed to jog.
The highlight of the morning was that I had the company of a bright boy named 'Nick', 10yrs old and always willing to try out new things. He wanted to try out jogging/running, something very different from tennis which he has been playing for the last six years. Hope had a good time and decides to take up running on a regular basis.
I only wish I had remembered that Joggers Park was located right next to Carter road. It has a mud track and would have been more fun to run. But, there is always a next time....

Hi MP,
Actually I have less free time now, but have made time to pursue a hobby. And am really enjoying it.... Maybe you should give it a shot. Trust me after I have start running regularly I actually have become more productive (have more energy, am more alert and dont really fall ill any more!!). Think about it......!!!
Mallya,
I agree with you, but trust me when you live in a suitcase travel 4 to 5 countries a month and are sleep in hotel beds 20 days or more, you just wanna relax when back home dont wanna pursue any hobbies, which is why I said envy you
I agree, doing something physical might not be the best thing for you at this point in time. But take up a hobby like photography or blogging... to unwind and do something while you are on the move. Get the most of the travel that you do....
