When I started
running 1 year back, I was not aware of the event races and the early morning
timings....
We live in a nuclear
family with no support where I could leave my kids behind when when I have to be away for the races....
So here begins my
RACE BEFORE THE RACE.... 3-4 days before the RACE….
My 8 year old and 2
year old sons.... I start packing their stuffs (clothes. Eatables in ice box.
Toys. Video Games etc.)
To wake them up @3
in the morning so they can join me in the car.
My race before the race starts 3 days before
THE day....
For my race of 1 to
3 hrs, I had to ensure that my kids are comfortable nd happy....
My husband Ravi plays a BIG role in this.
While I am running, he is with the kids taking
care of them.
In this race before
my race, many times, I ran without proper pre run food since I was more focused
on my kid's stuffs.
I could easily have
given up since it’s not easy to get up @2 in the morning and get ready 2 kids
to the Race....
But since my husband
and elder son Aaryan supported me, I am
into it and will keep running my RACES before the Race....
Its not easy for me
for atleast another 4-5 years, but if it was easy, everyone would have done
that…. I am happy doing my RACES before THE RACE….
