I am Durga Sil (65 yrs), w/o of a retired Army Colonel. I have been running for the last 8 years. My husband, who is into Aerosports is my Coach and mentor, whose support/encouragement has been instrumental in my running journey. At age 54, I started running, swimming and cycling with no sports/athletics background in the family. It has now evolved into a passion and an addiction. Running gives me immense pleasure and satisfaction in keeping myself fit and healthy. So far, I have done 3 TATA FM’s, Tata Ultra 35kms, 100 plus Half Marathons, a few 25k/30k and countless 10k. Ran all the major prestigious Marathons across India. To name a few J&K Patnitop, Ladakh, Shimla, Nainital, Delhi, Mumbai Trivandrum, Cochin, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kolkatta, Vadodara, Hyderabad, Satara, Jaipur, Nagpur, Aurangabad, Kohlapur and recently Kalimpong. Got a podium finish in all. One of my lifetime memories was receiving a Winner’s trophy from the one and only legend Padma Shree Shri Milkha Singh Ji, the Flying Sikh. I believe in self-discipline, determination( “I will” and “I can” are my secret mantra 🙂 )which keeps me going strong and consistency which is the key to lifetime achievements.
