hi everybody
hello glaconman,
hi great to hear from you, i also ran the bombay marathon in 2006. that was my second marathon. i stay very near the beach and so most of my running is done on the compacted part of the beach. about once a week i do the long run on the road. i am training quite consientiously for the two oceans. really really want to finish. keep thinking that the clock will show 6:59:59 as the cross the line and my wife (who will have finished her 21 k) will be standing there taking a few photos as i run through. and then I will give her a big hug and perhaps start crying :o with joy
I own a company which manufacturers and installs skylights. I studied in the united states , was there for about 6 years, then joined GE , first in the US and then in Europe, (the netherlands) for another year before returning to india and starting my own company. And can you imagine that in all that time, i never ran. was studying near boston and had no clue about the boston marathon and had no thought of running. --- somehow the things that slip by in life without us noticing them.
what would i not give now to run in boston. will never happen, not in this lifetime. anyway i started running just three years ago, have completed 4 marathons and one half marathon, and now want to complete the two oceans .I have also registered for the san diego marathon on the 1st of june and before the end of 2009 want to run a 100 k. (God willing, after all, a lot depends on HIS whim)
I love to cycle and trek in the mountains around bombay (about 2 hours away)
When are you back in bombay ? would be delighted to meet up.
amit
