On Sunday, I ran my third half-marathon of the year and was fully satisfied with my timing as well. It was fun and the whole environment was lively. I have always dreamt of running on road leading to India-Gate and te dream was fulfilled with this run.
However, I found the whole place extremely crowded. By the time I crossed starting line after crossing a sea of people, I was already behind by 5 minutes. My official photographer,
Zoobie, got lost in crowd somewhere, hence not much photographs to share.
Another thing, as I was nearing finish line, it was very hot. Not an ideal environment for running.
Now I am waiting for the
Gurgaon Marathon on December 6. I am sure it will not be crowded and weather will be cool enough to make this marathon a cooler one. Another thing, onus will be on runners and not on celebrities standing on the periphery.
If you happen to be in Gurgaon on December 6, do come to run, walk, cheer and have fun.
Moreover, you never know whom you may run into. You can find details
about the run here.
