WNC Navy Half Marathon - Mumbai 2022

After a really long break, the run is back. 20th Nov was the day of IndianOil WNC Navy Half Marathon 2022 - 21K Aircraft Carrier Run Category.

The pain got worse due to Ankylosing spondylitis over the years and finally after some medication got some courage to participate in one long run. The original plan of a week long trip got shortened to a weekend trip. Stayed in a dorm room at Empire Royale hotel, it is just opposite to CSMT train station. The to and fro journey was via railways rajdhani train.

With a goal of 2:45 timing bus, completed the run in 3 hours, not a great timing. But it did boost the confidence after so many days of severe pain. When I was certain that I'm gonna get bound to a wheelchair, this run did bring back some hope.


Coming months are going to be hopeful, planning to enrol for more races- one half marathon a month is the goal of year 2023.

not a proud timing, but a good starting point

Next registration done for- New Delhi Marathon on 26 Feb, 2023 with a target of 2:30 💪
