so on the 17th of January there was a marathon in Mumbai,and i ran for it.7 kilometers, my first ever dream run, it felt awesome. I was all pumped up from 5.30 in the morning, well i had to get to a particular start point. We started at 9 am so officially i started walking from 9.30 a lot of people had come for the 7 km run. there were so many groups, all different. some were NGO's, a group from McDonald's was running including there mascot. there was Domino's Pizza. there were people from TATA consultancy, a dance group(Shiamak Davar) also. we had to run around in the south of Mumbai near Marine lines, luckily it was near the sea so it wasn't that hot. We got done by about 11.15!!!
for me it dint really feel like i was in a marathon cuz we walked much of it but i was determined to do this so next time i can do the 21km race, its not that difficult. Since i am on a diet and work out regularly i have decided that every time i step on the treadmill i should aim to start with 5 km atleast.
so the next marathon will be next year and i definitely wanna take part in it. my parents and fitness trainers were so happy that i did it.
in all i felt so happy within, that i did it. Going there and completing it was a challenge i put for my self and seeing the spirit was amazing. the best of all this was i saw a physically challenged boy running the 21 km race and his mom and few others were helping him in the last 500 meters. there was also a little baby who had come with his mum, a lot of other people in different get ups where there.
this marathon was not just a race but also a reason for people to do something and since i've been doing nothing lately this was something i was looking forward to!!! :-D
