I am thinking of going for the Hyderabad Half, scheduled for Nov 26th, 2006. The website for the event is at http://www.hyderabad10k.com/. Should be fun, an I've never been to Hyderabad before.
The site mentions "online registration" availability soon, though I am always cautious about these things never making it at all. The entry fee is a bit steep at Rs 350/-, but if they organize it well, it would be worth it for sure. The weather of Hyderabad should give me an added incentive to run my best time.
I was also thinking about the Pune marathon which should be early December, but attempting a full there might be too much with the limited practice I have. And going to run a half in an event where the main event is the Marathon does not appeal to me too much. I also have my reservations about events which do not put available resources to good use. Pune is a well established event but it is yet to see a decent website. The one which is there http://www.puneinternationalmarathon.com/ still seems to be suffering from the hang-ups from 2005.

Hi Tanvir,
I am Shashank Gupta from Bangalore.
After the HDHF, for which I had come to Delhi, I searched the net and read your experience :).
Great to get to read about your experiences.
I am not a very regular at blogspot but I keep writing my experiences on yahoo 360.
Here is the link:

Surprisingly, my name is there on your page in the Bangalore Marathon category! :):)
It's great to read about you!
As you will read my experience in HDHM, if things would have been right, we both would have finished together ;):)
Let's stay in touch.
Great to visit your page!
Best Regards,
Shashank.
Not too bad Shashank, I've heard worse stories about HDHM experiences from people coming from outside, Delhi does burn you up, and many a brave warriors have succumbed to the heat on Rajpath (no, their names were not put on India Gate).
I truly think that you have done very well, maybe your expectations were too high. Next time, you'll surely do a lot better. And have a great Mumbai run. I'll be there too.
Hi Tanvir
Day before yesterday i did run the hyderabad10k , i ahd to settle with 10k as i am suffering from a sprain on my knee.But i did complete the run in 45mins...
Though i turned desperate when i saw jack tihara (guess) galloping past me during the initial part of the course itself i turned desperate, but after completing the race @ 45mins with the knee injury and a fall.
I am inspired to run the Mumbai Full Marathon, I hope my knee recovers soon.
