Then, in April 2012, she took up the challenge of running 1,500 kilometres from Delhi to Mumbai in thirty days. When the run began, it was purely a physical challenge which she had set for herself but, as it progressed, it became a mental struggle that took Sumedha to her veryimits and as she made her triumphant way to the finishine, she overcame not just her physical shortcomings, but also the extreme prejudice ofookerson who were convinced that she would fail miserably.
