Hyderabad Half Marathon - 1:57

One Hour and Fifty Seven Minutes..
That's the time I took to complete Hyderabad half-marathon. My goal was to complete under two hours and am happy to make it.

At the starting pt.. Runners listlessly milling around without proper instructions
Runners milling around listlessly. The instructions were not proper and to top it, the place was plunged in darkness as the run was about to commence.

    Congrats, Ram.

    It looks to me from the photos that most of the other marathon runners are much younger than you. And that should make your prouder.
