Running is like life, it's a long journey, but well worth it.

If you want to become the best runner you can be, start now. Don’t spend the rest of your life wondering if you can do it. - Priscialla Welch, Olympian & NYC Marathon winner

We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon. - Emil Zatopek, winner of four Olympic Gold Medals

Everyone is an athlete. The only difference is that some of us are in training, and some are not. - Dr. George Sheehan

OUr NGo is in the process of scaling up. We work predominantly for very veyr poor cancer patients, education for the poor and for hte orphans as well as support the poor in wahtever way we can - be it empowering them, enabling them, motivating them, BESIDES the monetary support.

Hey, guys. We have an NGO called Jana Rakshita. You can check out janarakshita.org

The site is under construction and we're still building it.

If there's anyone interested in running the marathon for our NGO, please let me know?

Amit,
During my stay there (till 2004), outsiders entry was not restricted. I'm not sure if it has changed now.
It would definitely be a very good place for road running.

has anyone tried running in IIT campus. Can outsiders go in and run.

Hiranandani in Powai should be a good place, roads are good. otherwise if you manage to get inside IIT Powai, then it is also good.

Mumbai Gang,

I am relocating to Mumbai from Bangalore by the end of this month. I will be staying close to IIT. Any suggestions for a nice running destination to continue my training for Mumbai marathon.

Cheers!
Amit

Hey gang, go to the "discussions" page and add your target time for the forthcoming Mumbai Marathon.

OK let me answer Allen' query. If you miss your runs, it is helpful to take up any activity that is "aerobic" such as swimming, cycling or skipping. So you are dead right in doing skipping at home.

As regards running shoes, I would like to say that the shoe companies will have us believe that we need to change shoes every month!!! My own experience is that I see the need to change shoes only after I log 1000 kms. This is a fair limit.
