A good analogy for life

Posted on June 2, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

I ran into Gwen at Lifepower Yoga today. Gwen is my old yoga instructor at Lifetime Fitness. Since I quit Lifetime to join The Village, I haven’t seen Gwen but it was great to see her today! I was a guest at Lifepower today to attend a yoga session taught by Mark’s daughter. The session […]

Headwinds forecast at the Boston Marathon

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

I checked the weather in Boston for the race. At 56 degrees, the temperature will be perfect for running. Spectators will be cold, but runners will enjoy it thoroughly. Unfortunately, they are calling for a head wind at around 9MPH. That will hurt! The race is still 9 days away and weather-people are often notoriously […]

Boston Marathon bib number is 15010

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

When I was in India, my car license plate number was 1510. I am far from superstitious but I do like the numbers 5 and 7. The number 1510 has a 5 in it and it adds up to 7. Today, I got my Boston Marathon bib number and it is 15010. I’ll be starting […]

Yoga on an easy day

Posted on March 25, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

Since I ran yesterday and I expect to run tomorrow, I took it easy today and went for an hour-long Vinyasa flow class at The Village. Jennifer was the teacher with only 5 students. It felt great to stretch out my muscles. Tomorrow morning, I expect to go for a hard interval run around DC […]

Can you touch your toes?

Posted on March 23, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

I practice yoga regularly but I still can’t even touch my toes. I used to be embarrassed by my inflexibility, but now I have accepted it and do the best I can. At yoga today, there was a girl (woman) next to me who was the most flexible person I have seen. She was strong […]

First time – twenty second arm balance

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

Instead of going to the regular Monday abs class, I decided to go to yoga instead. I thought that a good stretch would do me good. For the first time, I was able to hold a balance pose similar to the one pictured. Of course, I look all convoluted with bent knees and legs barely […]

Missy loves birds, but not as much as Simi did

Posted on March 9, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

Last night, we went to a fund raiser organized by KJZZ (the local NPR station). The event was quite good but it went on and on. We didn’t get home until almost midnight. Missy had a vet appointment this morning and her blood work is almost back to normal. She is still on meds but […]

Julie is coming to town on Wednesday. Our house will be in tip-top shape by the time she arrives. Binita went and bought new plants and was cleaning all morning. She assigned a few vine-trimming tasks to me. I even had to bring the ladder out for it! Otherwise, it was a lazy Sunday. I […]

Bacon hamburger with truffle ketchup

Posted on February 16, 2015December 15, 2019by Gaurav Parekh

There are tons of Hallmark Holidays. I consider Valentine’s Day as one of them. I did relent and got Binita a bouquet of a dozen red roses though. It went over quite well! That was yesterday. Today, my ankle feels better. I have no aches or pains. Next week is rest week. Life is good! […]
