“Don’t race, just do what you love – who cares about the time when you can run more and longer” – My otherwise idiotic cousin brother.
I was complaining to him (a runner as well) about how I was not able to reach my target distance in a given time-frame. He patted my head and presented me with the above which I am happy to say I have incorporated in my routine. Results are better stamina and fewer aches.
As a bonus, I will also share what he said minutes later when I told him that I am increasing my fibre intake:
“Go Wireless, Praju”
What a stupid amazing fool 🙂 He is visiting India after three long years and it has been a ball having him around!
Check out One-Liner Wednesday at Linda’s for something inspirational or funny or weirdly insightful!

Excellent advice! Glad it’s working for you. 😀
