Sense of achievement
It was 11 years ago when I first ran in a marathon (I never like running!), and last weekend I completed the second marathon in my life to date! I didn't finish with a braggable time, but 1 hour 20 minutes is the result that I am personally proud of
Somehow i feel that i achieved something in my life. It did give a great feeling for the day, and the whole event was actually fun. The first 6KM was bearable, and the rest of the run was simply killing. I ran non-stop until my legs almost gave way and I just half-run-half-walk for the remaining distance. I did intend to push it over the limit but I gave up the idea on the thought that i have to walk to work the next day!
I still have that sense of achievement with me today, and it is my legs which are still feeling it! Muscle is sore at both thighs and knees don't feel great too
Now the target is to do 25KM next, but i better make sure there is ongoing training and I can have next few days off. 10KM already did these to me, and I can't imagine what's it like after 25KM!
