The above Golden words are printed on a lot of T-shirts, but my coach is the one who made me follow it. I have been running with Dharam since the last 8 years or so, 3 years back he embarked on a journey to pursue his Boston Marathon quest. For those who don't know, Boston Marathon is a prestigious race to qualify for and amongst a lot of running circles, it is considered as the Mecca of long distance running.
Dharam left his full time job and moved to the US in 2011 for about 6 months to qualify for the Boston marathon. When he came back to India, he became a full time running coach and continued to train for a Boston qualifier. Over the last 3 years he went through a lot of pain (physical and mental) in his quest for the Boston. Irrespective of what kept happening around him, he was focused towards his goal! This morning he got qualified for the Boston Marathon 2015.
He is very good coach and a good friend. He continues to inspire me and other runners with his determination and enthusiasm for running.
Wishing you all the best for Boston 2015 and all your future endeavors!
