I am 26, woman, Delhi based and a fitness enthusiast. Like to workout daily and jogging is my favourite. Was searching for the Delhi Half Marathon date this year and came accross your blog and liked it instantly. Very inspring. Like your spirit a lot. Planning to run Half Marathon for a third time this year but nowhere close to your finish time (My best is 2 hrs 50 mins). I know, not good at all for a young girl like me - but have to blame my being overweight by 8 kgs and flat feet. Not putting this as an excuse though. Trying hard to be as fit as should be. Lovely seeing your blog. Hope to touch base with you for your guidence on improving. I can be contacted on Orkut as 'NEW RESOLUTION - 10KMS IN 60MIN'. Looking forward to your scrap. <br/><br/>Keep up the spirit. <br/><br/>Wishes, <br/>Kanupriya Hi Tanvir,

I had missed the 06 hdhm last year.<br/>The route was definitely better, the weather perfect and getting the certificate was a breeze initially.Thanks for posting the link to the results. The timing certificate has errors. Some of the folks have the net finish time same as the last split time at 19.3Km mark. <br/>keep running (if you are a biker, do visit us at bikeindia at yahoo groups).<br/>-Rakesh Mawa Hi Tanvir,

I was in Delhi too and wished we could have met. <br/>I agree the certificate thing could have been done a hell of a lot better, but this is the Achilles heel of the Procam organization. This year in Mumbai, they had the same problem and it appears they didn't learn.<br/><br/>After running three hours (in my case), the last thing you want to do is wait another hour and half only to be told you cannot have an official certificate.<br/><br/>Congratulations once again on your terrific run and good luck for December.<br/><br/>Cheers Hi Tanvir,

After running three hours (in my case), the last thing you want to do is wait another hour and half only to be told you cannot have an official certificate.

Congratulations once again on your terrific run and good luck for December.

Cheers

By your account it surely looks you had a great time, despite poor management. I remeber standing for hours (atleast 2) when I ran Bombay Marathon in Jan this year and it indeed is very painful to stand in the line for hours after you've just completed a gruellng exercise.
