It would have been a great way to sign off in style by running the Mumbai marathon 2008. My running list for this season has four races:
* Noida marathon (Sept, 2007)
* Delhi Half (Oct, 2007)
* Singapore (Dec, 2007)
* Mumbai (Jan, 2008)
I had to skip Noida due to a critical situation back home, and I have to skip Mumbai because of conflict of date with something else. So, I could sadly make it to just 2 events this season. This is very much in line with my previous two seasons, when I have run 2 races each.
However, it is still early in the running season and I am craving for some more fix for this urge. The Delhi marathon has been listed for Feb, but as we all know, this is one event which is not done till it is done. I hope for the best. Another problem with me is that I do not run for the sheer pleasure of running… I need that goal in front of me which can drive me out of the house.
Setting up a calendar for 2008 is still far away, since the season usually takes off around August for me. But one thing I am sincerely thinking of doing is to run atleast 2 marathons (42K) this year.

Hi Tanvir,
Too bad about Mumbai. I had hoped to run into you there.
Setting up a calendar for 2008 appears difficult for me as well. Mumbai and Delhi are the only two on my list right now.. though Singapore sounds like an enticing thought
Keep running
Cheers
Hi Tanvir,

Anyway, Some runners recommend running only two marathons a year, if u want to give enough rest to rejuvenate and give it ur best.
Anyway, all the best for delhi marathon!
Hi, I came across your blog by chance and it was a real pleasure reading thru it. I was training for my first half-marathon in Mumbai this month, but unfortunately my application was rejected. I heard that there is a Delhi International Marathon to be held in February this year. Do you have any information about the same? Can you please send me the information at yamini.a@gmail.com? Would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Yamini
