I did it again...
I completed my second marathon. I successfully completed the Adidas Sundown marathon on Sunday 8am. The exact time is 8hours, 11mins and 25secs. Amazingly I did not have very serious muscle aches compared to the Standard Chartered marathon. (At least i could walk without any difficulties)
Someone asked me why do people pay money to torture themselves...
I think i know the answer now.
Running a marathon isn't about the physical fitness, but it is challenging your mental strength, pushing your limits mentally to achieve a goal no matter the physical limitations.
Life itself is an ultra ultra (to the max) marathon, and there are several marathons throughout life. Each goal in life is like running a marathon, you want to finish it good; you want that achievement. Someone once told me about having tenacity to achieve what you started. Everything is in the mind.
