Yes, I can ! I am so blessed and thankful for everything surrounding me in the past 40 years...good or bad...rain or shine. What a long ride, but even a longer list of unfinished business ahead of me. This is it, a moment of joy that might somehow keep me energized and motivated.
Also, wanna share this little accomplishment with everyone here just to remind yourself how kick-ass you are...keep it up and fight through !
My First Running Race
A sub 4:00 for the first time running marathon to celebrate 40th birthday, that sounds pretty cool right? Well, I failed and that day turned out to be a brutal run ever. A half way through, both legs cramped, I felt like my whole lower body just frozen. And for 1,000 miles of training, it never happened even once.
I gave up on the goal around mile 18 and concerned if I should continue. The generous crowd gave me food, drink, and especially Menthol treatment to save my life along the way. I can eventually pull myself together again, and reminded myself the reason of why I ran 1,000 miles. I have learned so much from that 4:46 period, frustrated but proud.
These days my training is purely all about respect the distance, expect the unknown, adjust things on the fly, and last but not least...do not give up.(aka life).
