"I am an avid runner. With the lockdown feeling crazy as not being able to run. Thought of trying a run inside the home. Surprisingly, it is possible! I just finished a 10K run within the 4 walls. The residents living my apartment were also quite supportive in spite of the noise it creates! That is the spirit! Next target is a Half Marathon!," he says.
