With all the josh of my new electronic cards arriving, I forgot to share my 185 minutes to finish the half marathon in Mumbai last week. This one was better than my last one in terms of my post recovery time. The crowd cheer throughout our 21 odd kilometers was a real boost, we never felt that we were alone or we were stressing our body to its extreme. My running pattern this time was 8km non-stop run, another 8-9 km staggered run and walk the last four kilometers…
Post marathon, we had been to the Elephanta cave islands, thanks to my friend Prakash: without him, I could not have managed to see the cave islands. I had in fact seen Mumbai when I was 10 years old, but nothing has changed since then…the same buzzing crowd, the same spirit of living perhaps, only I was 15 years older than I was then…
It was a festival indeed and whole Mumbai was a part of it...Thank you Mumbai, see you next year at the marathon...
