For Vineeta Singh, 34, running a marathon isn't something new; she has been doing that for a decade. But in this year's Tata Mumbai Marathon, she switched things up: by running 21 km in 2:42:51s, while being six months pregnant. Giving her company on the course was her husband Kaushik Mukherjee, 35. Singh, who lives in Powai, told mid-day, "I have been running full marathons since 2007. I have run nine full marathons so far and it was a different feeling to complete the half marathon today being pregnant. Since I am six months pregnant, I had to take medical advice before I ran."
