Pune Marathon................

The Pune Marathon is being held for the last 20 years and always wanted to be a part of it.So it was this decided that i will take part this year for sure .As decided started practicing for 4.5 kms run every day at the campus .....
This was in addition to the 2 km swimming i do everyday at the IIT pool.Intially it was difficult but eventually was able to make it ..
The Pune marathon was held on the 26th of Nov .I took part in the AIDS Charity Run which was of 4.5 kms cause was not sure if could make the 10km .Since this was my first marathon.
Started the race with lots of hoppala going around the deccan area where many enthu junta had come .
Lot many stars were around the place and and junta was too busy waving to them but i was focused to complete the run .

The run started from the Deccan chowk,Lakadi Bridge,Laxmi road, via vishrambaug wada ,end of bajirao road,making a turn from the back of Peshawe Park and then around Saraus Baug and ended at the Nehru Stadium.

Though its was just 4.5km junta may think but running in the heat with the sweat is really difficult but finally made it in time of 22mins.Though slow relatively but made it running the ACR completely .hurrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayuyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

The next i will be trying for the half marathon at the Mumbai Marathon which is to held in the second week of January.I am trying to go there for running the 21 kms in the heat and humidity of Mumbai.

My sessions for the same have started with a initial run of 5km and then 2 km swim which really makes me tired but then 21kms is far away and i have to make it at the Mumbai Marathon.
