Half Marathon

Mumbai Marathon 2011

On Sunday 16th January'11, I ran my very first half marathon. It was something that I would never considered doing few months ago. But I guess I've changed a lot in past few months.

Being able to do this half marathon and finish it was a huge thing for me. Finishing was more then just running 21.097 km. Its was like breaking down a big wall in my life. I have been someone who hardly gives up easily. I truly showed myself that I am a lot stronger then I give myself credit for.

I now want to do more such marathon in my future. I think I will do a Full Marathon next year (Insha-Alaah). I had my amazing friend Rigan who accompanied me since the starting point to the finish line.

People kept on cheering us on the whole way and kept us motivating to finish what we have started. We started the marathon in a group of my own company fellow members but later we got separated because of the crowd. Me & Rigan were together from the start to finsih. It was so fun when people would yell from the sidelines - "Come on U can do it...Just a few more miles to go". It gave us that energy to run more faster & complete it as soon as possible.

It was amazing experience of my life, I had never dreamt of running for Marathon ever before. This was my first attempt & I am proud I did it with ease.

I just love it when you can prove yourself you can do something.
life is good...
