Its been 3 weeks of regular long weekend runs since i started running with a local runners club " Health & Fitness Trust managed by Sunita Godara ).Last sunday was another of the long run series with a total of 10 runners doing odd 15 kms.....4 runners from the delhirunners group also participated Nitin , Param, Hari & one other.
We started at around 6.45 am from Nehru Park parking lot (opp Pak High Commission ) - to Rastrapati Bhawan( beyond 11 Murti crossing ) and then did a 6 km loop run on a forest trail which is adjacent to Buddha Jayanti Gardens ( this is basically a Horse track where horse's of President Body Guard are taken for their daily routines )..the track was beautiful, with a major section of the run on cushioned straw , meant for the horses. We came across a couple of riders ....maginficient , tuned specimens.
Returned back via Chankyapuri to Nehru Park ....a total run of 15 kms.
I used to always observe riders coming out of this jungle track while driving down the main road, wondering what lay beyond on this forested path.
Now I know, having seen another of Delhi's hiddden trails.... thanks to running ( next time i wld post some snaps of the trail )

Sounds like a nice run. I run on the National Mall a lot in Washington DC and I love to see the mounted police out on it on their big fine animals.
Thats right. They make an inspiring sight with glistening coats,well groomed with riders upright on the mounts.
