Taking the stairs is a lot of distance covered as well. It may not amount to a great deal on the ground but is distance in height.

Taking the stairs is good for the heart and the mind too. You huff, puff and pant at the end of it. And then you realise that it is part of the deal.

Climbing any stair is a bit of a huff and a puff. But the real deal is that you are ‘climbing’. You are going against gravity. That sets it apart.

I have been taking the stairs a lot. Even when the elevator is available. It does something to me. To be able to climb at my own pace.

Whats your take?

To just stand and watch the wind energise sails as they are unfurled is something indeed.

Reminds me of human potential. That comes all wrapped up. It requires some unfurling to go a good distance

A marathon is a race, yes. But it’s not as much against one another as much as it’s against oneself. That is one reason why people turn up in the droves to see what their own limits are.
And whatever those limits are, every race is an opportunity to break it and set a new one.
Nancy Gibbs said it well. “ Runners exalt the marathon as a public test of private will, when months or years of solitary training, early mornings, lost weekends, rain and pain mature into triumph or surrender. That’s one reason the race-day crowds matter, the friends who come to cheer and stomp and flap their signs and push the runners on.” It was a splendid setting today at the finish line of the TCS Amsterdam Marathon. As runners ran in after completing their courses, there was a cheer in the stadium to let them know whatever their result was, it was worth it!
