Mumbai Marathon is back celebrating its 5th instance on 20th Jan 2007. Registrations for same have already started. I had missed the last year’s race as my application was rejected for being too late and I ended up being a mere spectator of this magnificent event! So, this time around have registered myself for the 6 km dream run way before and have started training for the same
Its fun to get up very early in the morning when its still dark and I hop / skip / jump / jog / speed walk to complete around 5 km everyday. Right now its seems I have stamina to jog for only 1.5 KM continuous. With under 2 months to go for race, I have challenged myself to run the complete race 6km at one go !

Its been 2 weeks since I am getting up everyday at 05:15 (doesn’t matter what time I go to sleep) and leave by 05:30 and am back after a 45 minute workout at 06:15. Will try and increase the time and the distance covered gradually.
So, if you haven’t signed up for the race do it ASAP and hey don’t forget to run for a cause. It makes one feel good that we are making a difference in someone else’s life who is not as fortunate as we are.

Also, I have signed up as a volunteer too. I dunno how I am gonna race and volunteer on the race day but hope to do both. I hope that the organizers accept my application.

See u there !
