Revel Kulia is tomorrow

Posted on January 18, 2020January 18, 2020by Gaurav Parekh
Saffron Finch

The Big Island is gorgeous! It’s warm and windy. Tomorrow is the big race; 26.2 miles of exhilarating torture. The course is downhill with sporadic uphill patterns. From my own GPS analysis, I expect to get out of the gate fast and stay there for the first hour for an average of 7:30 per mile […]

Haven’t blogged in ages – here goes…

Posted on December 22, 2019December 24, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

Last time I blogged was just after the Boston Marathon in April. Since then, a lot has happened. I want to start blogging again regularly in 2020; so here is a quick synopsis of what has transpired since April! May 2019: I went to Amsterdam with Sheelben-Devan to enjoy the tulip festival and had a […]

A trip to Southern Spain Malaga Sevilla Ronda Gibraltar

Posted on December 14, 2018December 21, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

A lot has happened since my last post in March of this year. In April 2018, we went to southern Spain covering the Malaga-Sevilla-Ronda-Gibraltar region. In the summer, we went up to the bay area in Northern California and ate the finest meal we have eaten in the US. French Laundry (thank you Amiben)! In […]

Bandhavghar National Park, India

Posted on March 7, 2018December 21, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

It’s been almost 2 months since my last blog entry. Things were pretty routine in January. I went to India for a couple of weeks in Feb-end and had a chance to visit Bandhavghar National Park in Madhya Pradesh. Thanks to my sister Amiben and brother-in-law Dushyantbhai, we had an amazing time at the Mahua […]

Quick trip to Washington, DC

Posted on April 22, 2017December 21, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

Amiben was in America for a wedding in South Carolina. She, Binita and I flew to Washington, DC to hang out with Naman last weekend. It was a fun few days full of eating, drinking, visiting the monuments and shopping (of course). Every time Amiben comes to America, the US economy improves (especially Ralph Lauren […]

4 days to Tokyo Marathon 2017

Posted on February 23, 2017December 21, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

Here we go… After 18 weeks of solid training, 3 pretty solid races (5k, 10k, half-marathon), umpteen training sessions including long runs of 20+ miles, temp runs, intervals, fartleks, strides, etc. etc. I am on the flight from LAX to Narita. The Phoenix-LAX flight was delayed giving me a slight scare that I will miss […]

A week to the Tokyo Marathon

Posted on February 19, 2017December 21, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

It’s been raining in Arizona since last night. This afternoon and evening, the rain was pretty heavy. To our surprise, there was a bobcat lurking on our roof next to the solar panels. I could barely contain my excitement as she delicately walked on top of the trellis in our courtyard and settled to groom […]

Off to Sedona for the Half Marathon | Bird Pics from the Gilbert Wetlands

Posted on February 3, 2017December 21, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

Tomorrow is the Sedona Half Marathon. It’s going to be a quick weekend trip to Sedona. We leave this evening and come back on Sunday. It will be a training run for me and I am not looking forward to running in cold 45 degree (or lower) weather. Adding to the misery will be elevation […]

The Big Fat Indian Wedding in Ahmedabad

Posted on November 28, 2016December 21, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

After absolute relaxation in the Himalayas for 4 days at the Ananda Spa, we arrived in Ahmedabad to a rocking thumping party with around 70 friends and family. As we pulled in to our driveway of our house in the outskirts of Ahmedabad, the party was in full swing. It was a precursor to Sanjana-Abhay’s […]
