My running season is beginning from this Sunday. First of my three half/full marathons is on October 4 in Shimla.
I have prepared myself for this HM (Half Marathon) little bit harder than my last one. I have put in close to 20 hrs and ran close to 125 kilometers in last 40 days. Running includes runs on plain, runs on hilly area, fast runs, slow runs, long runs, easy runs etc. Training was fun (otherwise I would not have done it) and it came with an advantage also - weight control.
Organizers are promoting this HM as a pretty-tough marathon. Pretty because of beautiful locales and hills covered with pine trees. And, tough because running at 7200 meters above sea level requires some stamina, strength and will power.
As the D-Day is approaching, there are some butterflies in my stomach which, I guess, is normal. But I know I am well prepared to handle this difficult terrain.
Will post some interesting experiences from HM and Shimla.

Heard about your forthcoming run in Zoobie's blog. Good luck mate - with such rigorpus training, butterflies have no place. Zoobie - get some photos in for the next post. We're cheering you on too.
Btw; you have to update your "about me" section. The weight there is surely wrong after all the running !!
