How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold.

Birthdays and anniversaries without you, still take my breath away!

5 years ago, the unimaginable took place. We lost you forever Jared. Just like that you were gone, gone forever. No warning, no sign, nothing. Our world became topsy-turvy. We had no clue how to go on.

Grief they say is love with no place to go, but I'd rather choose love, just like everyone else. Loss is a part of who we are now even though we didn't choose it.

Pain has a way of sneaking in every now and then (sometimes more often) even when I'm happy. It isn't because we chose it, life after loss is an everyday choice - to choose to move forward, every single day.

It's because we loved and lost what we loved, that grief affects in profound ways. Grief is the most painful emotion for any human. You live it, experience it and you'll eventually survive it.

Jared, 5 years have gone by and we still think of you every single day, and will think of you for as long as I live. #grief #heavenversary #lifeafterloss #onedayatatime #BabyJared #JaredHaydenHull taken in Hyderabad by @johannahhull

“Gym fees? Too expensive!”
“Medical bill? QR code kaattunga!” 😂

No budget for fitness. No time for walking. Somehow, there’s always time for another 47 reels! 👀

Necessary treatment is worth paying for. So is making time for your health.

You don’t need an expensive gym. Walk, exercise at home, or join an affordable local gym. Start small and stay consistent.

Diabetes and needing insulin are not personal failures. Exercise supports treatment—keep taking prescribed medicines. Don't forget to cut down on artificial sugars or as per your doctor's advice!

Which excuse sounded a little too familiar? 😂👇

A week ago, I completed another trip around the Sun (a reminder that my son didn’t get as many). I don’t look forward to my birthday for that precise reason. It’s been 10 years since I last celebrated my birthday (the last one with Jared).

The past few years, my near and dear ones attempt to make me smile and ensure I don’t cry.

My daughter and sister always got vegan cakes for me at midnight and plan lovely meals and gifts.

This year was different. I wanted my day to be like a normal day sans the work (we don’t work on birthdays and anniversaries). We ran for 41 minutes, went to the gym, went shopping, ate spicy and yummy food and we wrapped it up dancing. We danced to the point where we had to take our shoes off. The ones who cared, showed up in their own way on my birthday.

Srikanth, thank you for the lovely day :))

Akka, thank you for coming all the way to Hyderabad to celebrate my day :))

Chithi, Cyril, always a part of our lives - big or small. I value you ♥️

Shubham, Mohan, I loved our time together and the memories we made :))

Pratima, thank you for being your cheerful self. Happy birthday to us!

Mo, I truly missed you.

Jem and Nat, I do all these things so that we can make new memories as a family and look forward to a promising future. I love you both ♥️

Jared, another one without you. Mum and dad, I miss you.

Family ♥️

Sisters ♥️

Partner :))

My boys :))

We question the price of running shoes and gym memberships. But medicines, monitoring and complications can bring bills that repeat for years.

Walking costs no membership fee. Strength training can start at home. A local gym is another option.

Regular movement, appropriate nutrition and timely check-ups can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes—and help manage it after diagnosis. Start early, but remember: it is still worth starting today.

Fitness does not guarantee freedom from diabetes. Needing insulin is not a failure. Keep taking prescribed treatment, and discuss major diet or exercise changes with your doctor.

Swipe through for the cost comparison. Figures are illustrative Indian private-care estimates; actual expenses vary.

Sometimes, the fastest way forward is taking a few steps backward. Literally. 👣

If you're starting to feel the first whispers of runner’s knee, a cranky plantar fascia, or lower back disc tweaks, do not "run through the pain."

Even worse? Ignoring minor knee instability or catching sensations. Catching it before a micro-strain turns into a full ACL or meniscus tear is the ultimate GAME- CHANGER.

EGO= more miles; Starting of pain= smart PRE-hab. 🛡️

Phase 1 of staying durable looks exactly like this:
• Reverse Walking: Unloading the knees, activating the quads (especially the VMO), and improving joint tracking without the heavy impact.

• Dialing Back the Mileage: Dropping the volume before fatigue breaks down your form and forces your knees into dangerous, injury-prone positions.

• Controlled Weight Training: Building structural armor around the joints. Exercise hamstrings and glutes to act as a secondary brake for the ACL, protecting it from sudden twists.

Catch the warning signs early, fix the mechanics, and protect the engine. Prehab now so you don't have to rehab a major rupture later. Your future self will thank you. 🛠️🏃‍♂️

CARB LOADING: 600 g for 2 days or 400 g for 3 days?

Both can work. The better option is the one your gut can handle comfortably.

For a 68 kg runner:
600 g/day for 2 days = about 8.8 g/kg/day
400 g/day for 3 days = about 5.9 g/kg/day

The 600 g approach is a more aggressive 48-hour load. It is useful when the race is close and training has tapered, but it needs low-fibre, familiar foods and sensible hydration.

👉🏻The 400 g approach is easier to eat, easier on the stomach and spreads the work over three days. It is often the more comfortable choice.

⚠️The goal is not to chase a perfect number or feel stuffed. It is to arrive at the start line with full glycogen stores, a settled stomach and a plan you have practised.

Rice, idli, dosa, bread, potatoes, bananas, juice and sports drink can all contribute. Keep fats and very high-fibre foods lower in the final 24 hours, and never try a new food on race morning.

🏋️‍♂️ Race Week: Don’t skip the gym, just change the math.

Many runners think they need to completely avoid weights the week before a half marathon. But completely resting can leave your legs feeling heavy and stale.

The secret? Cut your total physical workload by ~85%.

If your usual routine is 4 sets of 10 at 60kg, drop down to 2 quick sets of 5 at 30kg.

Why? Because you need to protect your muscle glycogen (your premium fuel). Running a half marathon burns about 1,500 calories. If you deplete your glycogen tanks in the gym a few days before the race, you’d theoretically have to eat 14 whole bananas on the course just to survive. 🌶️

Since your stomach can't handle 14 bananas while running, keep the gym session ultra-light. Keep the nervous system snappy, leave the heavy lifting for after the finish line, and keep your fuel tanks 100% full. 🔋
