I ran the Satara Hill Half Marathon (SHHM) last Sun and wrote about it here. The run was a fun experience and something I am unlikely to forget in a hurry. I ran almost exactly to expectations and also got a prize. The former was important and the latter less so, but it doesn’t hurt. I was more pleased by the fact that I didn’t lose much conditioning despite a week’s forced break as I fell sick and recovered just about a week before the event.
