After last year's torture to the body, the amount of mental strength it took to complete the half marathon, Ameya has the guts to ask me again for Mumbai Marathon. He was hell bent on brainwashing me. I didnt want to yield. The reason I gave January too far to plan now.
But fate had its own ways, organizing authorities of Standard Charted Mumbai Marathon 2012 decided to restrict the registrations to those who have ran last year and within the stipulated time. Well I did just ramble all the way. Thanks to Ameya, I am pretty grateful. We did patch up in the process.we were not in talking terms since Moby's marriage.So the bottom line is I didnt qualify. So didnt Ameya. So, he started brainwashing me for Delhi, when that also didnt yield. Shail was also enthu this time. The bait here was Shail's cute nephew, who i have been dying to meet. And also if Shail's sis allows I would bring him with me. :) <awwww feeling>
So eventually I agreed.. well not exactly. I was silent on the going but tickets were booked and its the DDay. With hours counting down, i still cant believe it. Well I did buy shoes as well. Nike Air :) yay. Bday gift from dad.
To know the logic - "Why I am running the marathon??" Why I am running in delhi is a bigger question?? I am actually going to Delhi to run. What is wrong with me. Well in the name of adventure or probably just randomness of it gives me a kick. And it also tells me that I am bad at push backs and saying no!!! That was the main reason I wanted to prove to Ameya that I can say no. Well i did say no to Mumbai Marathon. lol
I had been home with a running nose a week prior. But weather at home town just aggravated the cold, the high rise building added more temperature to me, breeze ensured the fever never came down. Popping crocin didnt work, family doctor injected 3 full syringes of paracetamol. What was left was to pump bottles of glucose. The love of family doctor. Worse was the virus spread to kp, gma and worst affected was mom. Poor thing she spent whole days between her and my bday - with cold, cough and fever. All we got was her coarse voice and irked behaviour due to her heavy head.
The whole idea of talking about the fever is just bahana in case i cant complete the marathon. I am somehow not confident of routes in delhi to run away from the route in case i am not able to go on. With Ameya practicing hard for the marathon, I will not have anyone on back to ensure i ll have to finish it. But at the same time, I ll not have company during the run.
Well Go Mambo Go!!! as rachit said. Just go!!! Rest will be written in blog!!!
