Hyd 10K

the hyderabad 10K is the next thing on my mind. its on november 26th. initially we had about 30 people who were interested in doing the run and represent the school. one fine afternoon, i bumped into Guru from the dean's office and he told me that the staff were also interested and suggested that they could make this whole event as a school thing. later, it got decided that the school was ready to sponsor 100 people for the marathon. that was just awesome.

we would get ISB branded t-shirts for the run and all of us would represent ISB at the Necklace Road in Hyderabad.

the run has been on my mind for quite a long time now. i developed this passion for running only after i went to the UK. my first run was the NIKE 10K. this run was so special that it took us through the historic route in london - through shad thames, tower bridge and southwark cathedral. it was just fantastic and i managed to finish in less than an hour. it was my first run and i did better than my citigroup gym instructor. then i did one more NIKE run the next year, also did the canary wharf jog for the british heart foundation and the manchester run for leukaemia research. since then, i made up my mind that i would try and do the 10K every year.

it seems, last year we had just 2 participants from ISB. this time we have close to 55 students. the admnistration has assured that they will get atleast 30 people to participate. if we can reach the target of 100, it would be great.

the dean is part of the executive committee for Hyd 10K. this event would probably the best representation that we could give as a school in the city, apart from the weekly pubbing activity that the students contribute to.
