Talking about the run

In an interview with a leading daily, Ankita Konwar revealed that she used to think Milind was a crazy person seeing he runs 25 kms. Later she told herself that she is young and must do something with herself. "I was guilt-tripping," Konwar told the daily. "And, after a time, I started falling sick and I don’t like taking medicines. I started going to the gym and would walk on the treadmill for 2km and excitedly call him. One day, I forgot the gym was shut and I went for a run anyway. I did 4km and was jumping with joy. He was so supportive. Then I did 21km and won! My first 42km was in Athens, my first full marathon. By the 39th kilometre, there were literally tears of joy. Unbelievable," Konwar was quoted.
