Runners had some great time this 15th August! Some of us cranked up their cycling muscles at Decathlon, others stretched the running limbs! The best was the pre run Independence Day celebration with tricolour pinned near the heart and rendition of national anthem by members led by one of our senior most member Shri Joshipura. Four of ADRians also ran in 12 hour run: the Mumbai Ultra! The 70 year young Randhirbhai made us proud by seriously kicking some assphalt and recorded his yet another PB for running 12 hours. His blood pressure shoot up alarmingly during the race due to severe heat and humidity! He was advised to stop. Stop! He wont! He rested a while, got his hydration and BP in control and ran for another 6 hours to finish and win yet another medal! He has to face another challenge now- Mrs. Bhartiben Randhir Chahuan complaining about getting her a bigger medal cabinet! :). Another ADRian- Lihas Trivedi has no such worries. He and his wife live in side a trophy cabinet only! With the way he is winning them- the house has become like that! He ran his second 12 hour run in the space of 10 days! ₹&@*#%! Our member Kiran Vasani not only ran and finished the race, he did it in style! He ran with a tri-colour which was fluttering atop a small pole! What was incredible was that he chose to run his last lap with the flag when most runners are well spent and tired to even lift a thump! A true hero! A champion! Not a single DNF for ADR (did not finish). BY the way, ADR was the only team to have 100% finish record in mumbais heat and humidity! May be as a result of running countless miles with other incredible runners such as you! These champs are the true inspiration and make our city proud! Jai hind!
