Some being was keeping watch over the entire world? Please!Įxtraordinary claims required extraordinary proof, and luckily for Gravis, his brief run-in with Heaven in the Law Comprehension Area for Punishment Lightning acted at this sort of proof.
Telling someone that there was some super-powerful being, hidden from everything in the world, was not really convincing. One had to remember that Heaven had never shown itself in this world until recently. They also doubted the existence of Heaven for a long time. A lot of the concepts Gravis was speaking of sounded foreign to them. Stuff like the concept of Karmic Luck or the fact that beasts were only there as fodder for cultivators, he kept to himself.ĭuring his tale, the Empress and the Grand Elder interrupted him a couple of times with questions. It makes you want to wake up at 4 in the morning, tie your shoelaces and hit the tar.Gravis told the Empress and the Grand Elder as much as he was allowed to share. And that camaraderie makes you go on and on, year after year. Through Striders, I have made lifelong friends who not only rejoice and celebrate my wins but also are empathetic and encouraging during the lows. One draws several lessons, guidance and inspiration from experienced runner friends who are incredibly supportive and clearly want other people to enjoy running as much as they do. The amount of running experience within the group is perhaps the largest in the country.
Striders is a group of over a 1000 runners across India. Strider coaches understand the “be“, “know“ and “do“ attributes of each runner and provide the much-needed guidance and intervention from time to time. While their programs are tailored to one’s goals and capabilities, they primarily focus on the athlete remaining injury free thus ensuring that each runner is fit to toe the starting line of a long distance race. Their training programs include a healthy combination of running mixed with strength, flexibility, agility and coordination drills. Striders have played a pivotal role in my transformation as a recreational runner. Between then and now in May 2018, I have completed 2 full marathons, several half marathons and hundreds of 10 Km runs. At that time I had already lost about 15 Kgs in weight and had done a couch to 7 Kms at the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon in January 2015.
In February 2015, I joined Striders at their Shivaji Park center as my wife Binaaz, persuaded me to do so. Getting older and overweight, I had tried many things to gain fitness but never stuck at them.
