I missed registration for Spirit of Wipro run, although had chance to run without running bib, but decided to cheer the runners this time. Few of my friends had registered for the run, some never run before. It was good to see them running and I felt they needed push around the finish line. I was bit late for the start, run for 10K had already started. I met Samatha at the start line, we strolled for sometime taking pictures. Atmosphere at the event was great, lots of people and noise, which ideally created a very good feel for the run. After first three finishes for the 10K run, I walked to 100mtr mark to the finish line, began cheering the runners who were about to finish. I could see people who were walking began their last 100mtr run to the finish line. After some time, I saw Anup and Irfan running, I began the cheering for them and took few pics. They were all pumped up to finish, soon they were followed by Shetty, Shivram, then Amit and Jambya. It was great fun to see them all finishing. Also I did pacing for my friend Romel on my floaters for 50m to the finish line.
I was still cheering for others, someone patted me on my back, said thanks for the cheer. I felt the purpose is now met. We gathered after the run for the snacks and then waited for the Raghu Dixit Project to perform. Next stop was Raghu Dixit stage performance, I was all pumped up and started enjoying the good music, jumping and singing along. What a show it was, thoroughly enjoyed the music.
Will always look for cheering when I am not running. People do it, feels good. !!
Happy Running. Cheers.
