The one good thing about the last weekend was my dear friend's trip to Bangalore. It was really a surprise when she told me that she is visiting me because i have asked her umpteen number of times to visit Bangalore in her past two years of stay in Mumbai and she never came. And then she came for after two years for just two days to participate in Bangalore 10 K marathon. My immediate reaction was "Marathonnnnnnn?? You are coming to Bangalore just for participating in a race? 17 hrs of journey for a race? ".
I never was sport person and Marathons were limited to watching Mumbai Marathon and that too for watching celebrities :P . But the above reaction was not just from a sport unenthusiastic but also from a dear friend who just wanted her friend to spend some more time with her .
So , early morning at 6.30 we left for Kantiveera stadium .While she participated in the open 10 KK , i spend the time capturing the race in my camera :). Here it goes :
