So, in a few weeks time, it will be time to visit Mumbai!
The Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon is on January 18.
I am hoping to run into a few bloggers and familiar faces on the race day. If you’re in Mumbai during the time, do come out and cheer. There’s the dream run too (6k) where you can run/walk and I’ve asked some friends to participate in that at least. Quite a few of us from Bangalore will be travelling for the event.
In my 5 years in Mumbai, I was never even aware of the marathon and it’s actually quite ironical that I will be travelling all the way from Bangalore to be a part of it now! But, that’s life… always full of surprises :-)
Anyone planning to run? Or coming out to cheer? :-)
Count me in to cheer :)!
And all the best !!

Posted by Vani | January 5, 2009, 9:46 amI photographed the marathon last year and intend to do the same this year too. But hopefully get some much better shots.
If you’re interested see my photo collection.

@ nandish: running?
@ vani: yes, but the corporate women’s relay. not running a 21 since the mumbai is the weekend after and don’t want to do 2 half marathons so close to each other!
@ kapil: wow! great :-) sincce i won’t be able to do much photography, hope to see yours instead!
Posted by Anita | January 6, 2009, 10:23 pmHey Anita,
Happy new year !!! Been a long time. Good to see you have taken to running with a real zeal.
Take care and lets see if you can run 365 KMs this year ? Thats something for a target isnt it ?

Posted by raahul | January 7, 2009, 1:44 amNope, cudnt register ontime… :(
Posted by Nandish | January 9, 2009, 9:57 pmGot your reference through my sister in law’s (swatisani) blog.I was staying in Colaba (Navy nagar)for 3 years and even did certain arrangements for aerial photographt as of my official duties. But no marathon — too lazy I guess. Plus the things closest to you are probably furthest from your heart. My wife will vouch for it :-)
Posted by Nadeem | January 10, 2009, 10:27 am@ vasu: hi and same to you! that would be a good target, definitely!
@ raahul: thanks! glad you’re inspired! yes, it’s been non stop action for me!
@ Nandish:
Next time!
@ Nadeem:
serial photography? of events? wow, that sounds interesting!
Posted by Anita | January 12, 2009, 12:43 am@ nandish: btw, you need to register months before the event! they close it around sept the year prior, i think!
