Why do you get so exhausted?⁵⁰

The day before the marathon I was running on 150th Street. At about the 800-metre mark, a dog came near me. The owner lifted his head and saw me. Then he became so excited. He shouted, “Sri Chinmoy!”

Three days ago I was doing intervals — walking 100 metres and then running 300 metres. The same man saw me on 150th Street while I was walking. He asked me, “Why do you get exhausted so soon?”

He thought I was only walking.
