I have been training with Team Asha for two months now. I am confident that I can run the half-marathon at a competitive speed.
My goal is to raise $100 for every mile I run in the half-marathon which works out to $1310.

Running History
Three years back, I could barely run a mile or two before coming to my knees. But after a couple of years of running regularly, I can today dare to think about running a half-marathon. Lot of credit goes to my friend Goutham who has been a great motivator. I log-in at least 20 miles a week these days and training with Team Asha has been a god-send to slackers like me.
My first double-digit mileage was achieved on Novemeber 4, 2007.
Ran 12 miles in 2:31 hours in Buckhead
I successfully completed the half-marathon on Thanksgiving Day in 2:30 hours.
Here is a snap of Team Asha runners.
