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.

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.

Long trek to Chairminar - the turn around point for Half Marathon. The local police and volunteers did a commendable job of keeping the uncontrollable traffic at bay

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