Krishna Kumari Shridhar

Krishna Kumari  aged 59,

I was introduced to running by my husband when I did my first run, a 5 km run on Necklace Road – Tank Bund. This got me further interested in running and I joined the K25K program in 2018. After that it has been an exciting journey – running and staying fit.

Right from 2018, I have been part of the Train & Shine Program with the Sanjeeviah Park Family under the able tutelage of Coach P Srinivas Sir and Mentor Sagar Kapatia. Needless to say, the josh and enthusiasm of all my friends at Sanjeeviah Park has made my running journey even more exciting.

I have run more than 50 10k runs and a couple of half marathons. And for some motivation I have about 5 podium finishes to my credit. I am very excited to run in other cities (Chennai, Bengaluru, Cochin, Manipal, Mumbai in addition to Hyderabad) as this connects me to various kinds of people which brings in different perspectives and helps me grow on various fronts. Running, and more particularly my association with Sanjeeviah Park, has become an inseparable part of me.

Being a homemaker, managing the family & household chores and making time for my passion (running) is a challenging task. However, I am able to balance all of these with support from my husband, children and my wonderful friends at Sanjeeviah Park.

Running and my time spent with my running buddies has helped me to balance my blood pressure the last 5 years or so. Running a 10k with my husband and children is an added booster. A family that runs together, stays together.

Running keeps me physically and mentally fit and I intend to keep it that way forever.
I am grateful to the entire eco-system for the wonderful support and encouragement.

And I am thankful that I took that first small step way back in 2018.
