Cycle Uncle

I started running , mainly jogging I believe at an age of 26 years, and then I get some sever asthama which made me stop again. I restarted it with small runs the best I could make it with 10Kms in 67 minutes. However, this doesn't continue much longer as my allergies went up and I got my asthama back. So Jogging was on and Off. Saying all about the reasons of why I can't run more or faster, however good thing is nevertheless I didn't ever do to my best I keep trying. While running its always an ongoing  tussle, ok that's it, no we decided the target for 5Km today, no-no let's do tomorrow, ok let's walk for a while..oh I am moving out of breadth now not anymore…etc. etc.

While I was fighting with the thoughts and determination; there is this uncle running bare feet, holding his sleepers in left hand and holding cycle with right hand. He must be in his 70's , with grey hairs and thin body. Seeing him running at with so determination; the tussle going on got peace and I got this full packet of energy to complete the target.

Since then, I tried matching my time with uncle's time to recharge me. However, this was not too long a day came I didn't saw the uncle. I tried spending more time in park, considering he may be coming at other time. It been a while now, and with my decision to move to a new place in next 2 weeks this eagerness to meet him was getting stronger and stronger. However, I was not able to see him again.

I don't know his name, never talked to him, couldn't even take a photo of him. And now I moved to a new place, the park is like 1.5 hours drive from this apartment. May be one day I will take out time to go that far for running and lucky enough to see this cycle uncle.

Cycle Uncle I miss you , you been always an energy to me at that time and even now whenever the tussle starts your memory helps to rest it.
