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.
