I have been training for several months and can now run over 13 miles on road without pain or injury. I have booked flights and hotel and even managed the beaurocratic challenge of getting a travel visa. I was pleased with my time of 46min 38s for 10k in my only proper timed race I have ever run appart from the BF 5k with the UK chapter.
With 3 weeks to go, I got an e mail to say that the Mumbai BF half marathon has been cancelled due to 'VVIP closing the roads'
I am very dissapointed about the race but will travel to India as planned and explore Mumbai instead of running. I know of only one other person from UK who said they were going. I am not aware of too much interest from my fellow runners on the other side of the Atlantic which surprises me as this event was going to be quite spectacular and record breaking.
I just had to share my tears!
