The thought stems in my head a long time before it spells into action...I contemplate for a month...I imagine the wondrous pros...I try penning down the cons though I seldom find any ! (Ofcourse)...And on and on it goes...Till that one day when the deliberation reaches its peak, tiny fritters of adrenaline pump in and I know, the world is mine to conquer...And then, I wake up for a jog...
The exhilaration of that first jog is unmatched ! I wake up on the very first ring of my customised "Please Dont Stop The Music" alarm tone, rudely cutting Rihanna short...My eyes are wide open and I cant help but give a sheepish grin...Appu needs to be wakened and I walk over to her door wondering whether I should knock or ring the bell...I choose the latter and within seconds a sleepy Appu comes to the door and confirms our early morning outing...
My jogging clothes are kept aside (OCD at its best) and it takes me a jiffy to freshen up and change...Aparajita gives a soft knock and we step outside...There's not a soul in sight, MANAGE is cozily asleep in the supposedly 'wee' hours of the morning and the novelty of the situation makes us both burst into laughter...We plug in our earphones and tune into the playlists we have both compiled the previous night...
The two of us reach a fork in the road and enthusiastically decide to start with a jog and so we do...For exactly 13 seconds ! At the end of the 50 m stretch, we are both panting for breath and coming to terms with reality ! Sparing a thought to our rusty joints and deciding (wisely) to take it slow, we turn around and take a walk...
The previously unseen early morning MANAGE is a welcome sight...On our way, we meet others sharing a similar fate as us, though we are undoubtedly the hippiest joggers on the road...We break into a short run yet again and though we sustain a tad bit longer this time, we decide (wisely again) to take it one day at a time...Afterall, we've covered 30 minutes and almost 2 kms !
Our mission is accomplished and there is no feeling more splendid than the one on both our minds...A status on FB follows, much to the curiosity of our other classmates...
I wonder if this's meant to last...But like many other firsts, I know, it will be memorable, close to my heart and ofcourse perfect !
