When I completed my maiden half marathon race, I felt on top of the world. The feeling was unexplainable; it just felt so wonderful and proud the moment crossing the finishing line despite all the pains endured during trainings. Now I am back to trainings for 2nd half marathon. Other runners said, the painful time is not during the race, it was those training sessions. I have to agree, imagine how many weeks of training we have to go through preparing for one single race.
Whenever I ran 20km, I always think how other runners can endure running 42km. I was already half dead after completing 20km, almost dragging my feet during the last 1km. Nevertheless, I believe one day I would be able to run a full marathon, and complete it just like any other runners.
I really salute those who run full marathon. 42km, that’s no joke. To all marathoners out there, you guys really rock. Those runners saying, runners are sucker for pain; I think the pain is worth for the pride of being a real runner, and a marathoner. After 42km, there will be ultramarathon 84km, 100km to go. Cheers!
p/s: Btw, a marathoner is a person who have ran a full marathon. So I am not a marathoner yet, I am just a half marathoner :)
