I ran my first marathon

Hi guys! I survived my first marathon!! (which I forgot to train for) But.... I managed to get into top 50. Truth be told I dont think I would be able to finish the race without the sisters who ran with me. Seriously I am overwhelmed and excited with so many supportive sisters I met throughout the race. Whenever I stopped someone behind me would encourage me to continue running. And when someone else stop I would continue cheering for THEM. On top of that,I got the chance to run with the first woman EVER to run a marathon. She too,was really really supportive. If im not mistaken her name is Kristine. She was the first woman to run the Boston marathon.

One lesson learnt: Keep moving forward and never give up even if you feel like you cant do it. I didnt want to run this race because I thought I was not fit enough and I would die if I run a 9km route,but hey. I signed up for it. If I believed i could do it when I signed up for it then im going to finish strong.

Here are some pictures from yesterday's marathon! 



The 'heart' man! Hahaha.


My sister managed to convince her bestfriends to join the marathon. Ex Sri Amanians.Wohoo we rock!


The goodie bag!


And a little note I made for my sister!

Now I cant wait to get back into training. I think we should try 21km next time. Should we? ;)
