Marathon

8/2/2004

Today I joined the Standard Charter half marathon and completed in 2hr 26 mins. When I was running, I kept reminding myself “I am running for myself" I want to proof that I have the willpower to finish the race after recovered from SARS. It was absolutely a great challenge to one’s perserverance. I did not stop or walk , I ran for the whole journey.
The muscle ached and it was really cold today ( 8 degrees plus raining), but I was glad that physically and mentally I was strong enough to acheive. When you run on an unfamiliar route, the feeling is very exciting yet frustrating, as you don’t know whether the next part will be upslope or downslope, you don’t know when will be the turning point, just like what life can be.

I started to run when I was doing my internship because at that time there was a lot of stress and anger...those emotions were put off my mind when I run...But nowadays I run for my health.
