Time for a long due
update!!
Wow, its been a while since we posted on here. Lots and lots
of changes happened since the turn of the new year and our trip to India.
Since the last time I wrote, me and Garima were getting on a plane for a
trip back home to New Delhi, so its only fitting that I can formally announce…
Me and Garima are now married!
For our honeymoon, we went to Maldives for a week. It was
pure bliss. Both of us usually only take one vacation every year, and its
usually to travel back to India, so we haven’t got a chance to see much of the
world or take a real lazy vacation ever since we started working full-time.
So we had a blast…lots of scuba diving, snorkeling, canoeing…
…and obviously, fishing having tons of yummy seafood/barbeques!!
When we came back to Toronto, I was really depressed seeing
a white sheet of snow firmly planted on the landscape. I thought to myself, “Well,
at least its Mid-February now, only 1-2 months of winter left”.
Little did I know…here we are sitting in Mid-May and its
only in the last 2 weeks that it’s really beginning to feel like summer. What a
sucky winter we’ve had!
Of course, once we were back, normal life resumed. Work’s
been tough lately, and was hard to adjust back to the grind.
Getting back into training mode has been rough…sometimes
plagued by the “why I do this?”, “…there’s really no goal race to train for
this year, so what should I work towards?”, getting sick due to change in
weather between India/Canada, getting caught in the flu season., and when not
plagued with these ailments, just sucking at workouts because of the 1.5 months
break from January to Mid-February and lack of consistent training. Bah.
Taking this vacation also meant that we used up all of our
vacation this year, so we’re working like mules for the rest of 2014, which, in
turn, meant that we couldn’t travel back home again in April for me to attend
my cousin’s wedding. Boo.
Anyway, that was a quick update, stay tuned for more since
we’ve already been busy competing in running races this year!! Plus, some summer trips and visits from
family!
