Missy in a pink bandage

Posted on January 15, 2016December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

Missy is unwell. All day long today she as at the vet’s office getting intravenous fluids, anti-nausea medication and antibiotics. She ate very little after we brought her home this evening. I am worried. Her blood test came back positive for pancreatitis earlier in the week; she is being treated for it since then. We […]

Missy has pancreatitis

Posted on January 6, 2016December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

If you saw Missy for the first time today, you’d think she is in pretty good health. She has a gnarly growth near her left eye and she shivers as if she is cold but she is active and agile. She is almost 13 now and slowing down but she remains spunky. Apparently, tests show […]

17 weeks to London Marathon

Posted on December 28, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

I did nothing today. I was down and out with a cold and flu-like symptoms. I slept hard last night after taking Nyquil and woke up with a bodyache. I felt lethargic all day. After popping a couple of Advils, I slept for 3 hours in the afternoon, woke up for a bit and went […]

Why are race photos so expensive?

Posted on May 13, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

I have a hashtag #firstworldproblem. I am perfectly healthy; I am active, pretty smart, have a lovely family and a very secure, stable lifestyle. Yet, I am not too happy with my doctor’s office visit today. My blood test result shows that my Factor VIII reading is elevated. This means I have to stay on […]

Drama over Greek visa

Posted on May 12, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

Yep, I’m sick. As I write this, my sinus is congested. I’m going to take some NyQuil and will go bed early. My blood test result is back and it doesn’t look good for the future of bicycling. As you can see, Factor VIII activity (apparently something that increases chances of blood clots) is elevated. […]

Hope I am not coming down with something…

Posted on May 11, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

I feel something in my right ear. I can feel it all the way down on the right side of my throat. With 4 days to a few long flights I hope I am not getting sick. I’m going to try and will myself to not get sick. When I say that to Binita, she […]

What? No more triathlons? #firstworldproblems

Posted on May 10, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

I ran around Tempe Town Lake (5 miles) late this morning. It was a pleasant run for the most part, but I was laboring by the time I finished because it got quite hot. My pace was a pretty decent 8:15 per mile but my heart-rate was a little elevated (my heart-rate belt was also […]

No response from Silverleaf – WTF!

Posted on December 16, 2014December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

I feel better today, but not good enough to go out for a run. If the trend continues, I may try an easy 30-minute run tomorrow and then ramp up later this week. I am still jetlagged but it doesn’t seem to bother me much. I sleep when I am sleepy and stay awake when […]

Sleep all day

Posted on December 15, 2014December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

I woke up sick and with a splitting headache this morning. With my blood thinners, I can’t take Ibuprofen; hence proceeded to take a couple of dayquil tablets and felt a bit better after an hour or so. I did pretty much nothing all day; sleep was on the agenda. Training was completely out of […]

Jetlagged, congested and sick

Posted on December 14, 2014December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

I had grandiose plans of running the 12ks of Christmas race today after a 24+ hour flight from India last night. Those plans were dashed because of a pretty bad headache and chest congestion this morning. After a superb but exhausting trip to Ahmedabad for a quick six days, I’m back in Scottsdale. Almost every […]
