My 1st Marathon, BOW!
I planned to join this race the following year, 2014, all I want for this year is to try how will I perform in the 21k category. Also, it has a cut off of 6 hours, I don't know how long I will run another half marathon after a half marathon.
My friend Butch is the one liable why I joined this race to early.
Before the event, I felt some uncomfortable pain in my ankle and I had a thought that I may not attend the race. I only have the chance to train on short distances, 5k to 10k so I am not really prepared when we talk about training's.
What I do as preparation is to eat well and sleep well and do some weight lifting exercises for my legs and overall endurance. I also bring some magic during the race day (OPK, salt and chocoloates). At the end, it was all worth it. No cramping the whole race. Slow pace, jog, pasyal pace and walk.. I was slow actually but I made it.
I crossed the finished line below the cut off time.
The feeling was so good and satisfying, with some tears of joy dropping.. :'-)
And here I am, a MARATHONER!
