Mumbai Marathon

I am running the 'Celebrity Run' part of the Mumbai marathon. Actually, limp-hop-walk-grimacing is probably a truer description. But finish I will.

This run is for Dream A Dream and I hope to raise Rs. 50,000 in total. Lofty sum? I hope not. I plan to use the blog to update people with run day preps....something I can do on holiday as well.

To those who don't, which has to be very few people (I do brag a lot about this!), Shankar and I did finish the Rock 'n Roll marathon in San Diego - it has been around 8 years now. We trained in snow and sleet around the river in Cambridge/Boston and understood exactly how much one mile was....intimately. Got introduced to the pleasures of running with a partner and running with music. Pre-ipod days.....did those exist?! :-D

Deb, my running partner is a good friend.....anyone you shared those running aches with has no choice! So do watch this space, if you are interested in running/prep details. The run, by the way, is only 7k....in case the preamble gave you another impression!

G'night!
