One word - Pain. Its all about Pain.
But please understand that I'm not a crazy person seeking pain. It is about understanding yourself, your body, your well-being and ultimately - your life. Its official for me that I finished the half marathon in three hours. Not the ideal finishing time but I'm still glad I made it through the finishing line. Because of my poor preparation in managing my diet, training and pre-stretching towards race day, I ended up acquiring an injury and a poor finishing. I truly deserve it as I show no respect for the route and the pain my body have to endure.
My last 5 km was the most difficult and enlightening. Every thumping step I took with every heart beat, I could feel the road (the friend) and my whole leg! I have never felt more alive with the pain. It increase my awareness physically that my heel and knee-caps are enduring 64kg of my weight each time I pound. With the sweat dripping all over my body, aches and pain screaming throughout my body. It is all about pain I say. It make you realize you're human, a person capable to love, to hate and to forgive, And a person capable of doing a million other things as well - such as finishing the race. Impossible is nothing, that I agree with Adidas.
My next goal will be the real marathon, the marathon of 42,000 steps. The journey of how I'm going to reach there is in question. But you see it is not even a question when you have strong believes in yourself that you can make it. Your heart your mind your soul your determination and your friend (road) will conspire with you to achieve what you are set out to do. Impossible is nothing, that I agree with Adidas.
Till the next race, we will be in touch.
