I was not as intense in my preparation for the SCMM as I was for the Delhi run. Just managed to put in enough time on the road to stay in shape. With my brother visiting me in Mumbai it was again a question of finding time which was difficult. But one positive outcome from a running point of view was that the opportunity to do a couple of training runs on Marine Drive stared me in the face and I was really glad...the stretch along the Arabian Sea coast right up to Malabar hill is simply awesome and anybody looking for some motivation to start running need not look further than this place.
I visited Calcutta a day after Christmas and spent a fortnight at home. I had nothing but training and relaxing in mind during the time. The weather was a complete change of scene though as the city was facing one of the coldest winter in a decade and it was a far cry from the sultry humidity of Mumbai. I even had to wear a woolen inner to ward off the bitter early morning chill, but the timing I clocked put a smile to my lips!
