Perseverance fought with Pain on the battle field for over four months. Peace declared today after perseverance won over pain – Completed my MAIDEN FULL MARATHON (42.2 kms in about 5 hours) with the support and cheering of my friends in my home town, Chennai! What makes me more elated is the fact that I ran for a cause – “Isha Vidhya” sporting their T-shirt 🙂 My journey in running started off with 5 km and 10 km runs; it then quickly shifted to half marathons and 10 x 10 runs: they helped me in improving my stamina. Not the raucous rains or the scorching sun – nothing stopped me. Whatever said and done about this marathon and my practice sessions the bottom line is this – “I thoroughly enjoyed every second of my running!” I declare, of all the joy and pleasure I have had so far in my life, the joy of reaching the finishing line of my maiden marathon is SUPREME.
Happy Running
