Frankly, I tried a number of URL's before settling for this one - Gone to Run. This was the closest I could get to something like "Born to Run", catchy and yet not hard to recall. My other preferred ones were already taken.
It's been a while I wanted to start writing, again. And what better to write on than something I enjoy doing - Running. My intention, possibly an optimstic target, is to share thoughts that occur to me every time I run.
Every runner, whether running short distances or long runs, would agree with me that there is more to running than just the physical activity. Naturally, since running is such a personal and 1 to 1 activity, there is a lot to do besides just pounding the road. If you are with a co-runner, you can of course talk. However, even if you are all alone there a lot more that goes on. Some people listen to the music, some, like me, soak in the sound and surroundings, and a lot of us think.
Basically, if there was any sport that allows you to introspect then running is probably right up there. Golf, though I have never played, seemed pretty close.
Like most other runners I am sure, I experience a number of emotions and thoughts, and collect different stories every time I hit the road. Through this space I hope to share with my friends, and their friends, these experiences while I'm Gone to Run. Some I am sure would be of use to you, and others would probably be a record for my running diary.
Have a good run!

All I can say is Bhaag Gaurav Bhaag and may be someday we will see a movie made on experiences you had while running. Would look forward to know of experiences and thoughts on running in different countries, effects of running on body and mind and why do you keep soaking , whether it's rain or sun??? Enjoy running and writing. Cheers
ReplyDeleteKeep running man!! great stuff!!
ReplyDeleteGreat, Gaurav...people who run seem to have a religion all their own...the religion of running. In the west, before the web revolution killed off many print publications, there used to be a whole section in book shops on running, both urban competitive, and cross-country. But I'm sure your blog will contribute greatly in filling up that void. Way to go...!
ReplyDeleteinspiring Gaurav! especially since I love to run too! Don't run on a daily basis but I dont leave any chance to walk or run to closeby places. there's sure something special about that feeling!
ReplyDeleteEverything is perfect, from the URL to thoughts on running to precise and good writing. I too introspect, soak in the surroundings while walking (running is now less attractive)! Keep sharing!
