One step at a time
I just ran a marathon without real training. Finished 5 minutes under the disqualification limit (5:30:00), but that was exactly my goal đ.
My whole body hurt, but I genuinely had a great time. Friends and even random spectators commented on how good and happy I looked. Some thoughts I had during the race:
- Endurance is scarce
- Each step is one step closer to finishing the bucket list
- Gratefulness will make you/life run better
- I donât know if I have a higher pain tolerance, or if I just feel less pain to begin with when compared to other people1
- Always be movinâ theory is real, folks
Sub 4 is the goal for next year!
Feet donât fail me now, take me to the finish line
Oh, my heart, it breaks every step that I take
But Iâm hoping at the gates, theyâll tell me that youâre mine
Walking through the city streets, is it by mistake or design?
