She's since neglected road running and triathlons in favour of the trails, and participates regularly in local races. Why? Because, as, John Muir said: “Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity..."

P.Ramakrishnan has been a journalist and editor in Hong Kong for the past decade. He jump-started his career writing the Society column for South China Morning Post and went on to write about lifestyle, luxury and endless spools on the juggernaut that is Bollywood. Mostly he spends time worrying about the emergence of gout; "With rich, fatty foods and calorific canapes served on seemingly endless silver trays, I think it should be a primary concern for all those who circumnavigate champagne soirees in the 852." There is the gym and a sensible diet regiment... but then he looks at counsel like that with the disdain one reserves for those wearing a brown belt with black shoes.
