Half Marathon

The Half marathon that we will run this weekend is 13.1 miles (21.08 Km). Just to put this in perspective, the distance from Mulund Station to Dadar Cenral Station is exactl 21.5 Km (almost exactly a half marathon).

Here's the proof

The distance from Mulund station to VT (CST) is roughly 30 something Km, which is much less than the 42 Km (Full Marathon) that kela ran at Travere City last week.

Suprisingly, all the roads (even the smaller ones) in Mumbai are labelled pretty accurately in Google maps. The only exception being that Mulund station is mislabelled as Thane.

My goal is to finish the half marathon in under 2 hours (less than 6 minutes per Km, or roughly 9 minutes a mile).

We ran the 10K run in Traverse City.

This weekend we are running the Half Marathon from Dexter to Ann Abor. It's called the Dexter-Ann Arbor Run and it ends at Main street, where there's the Ann Arbor food festival on the same day. :)
