What a fantastic day for my very first-time half-marathon ⏲️ .
I was well ahead of my expected time, and suddenly exactly a kilometer before finishing the race, my right calf muscle got cramped and it slowed me down. However long story short I managed to finish the line and I am proud of my result.
In one hour and 51 minutes and 11 seconds finished my half-marathon (21.1km). The path wasn’t hilly as I expected. The warm-up before the event is the 🔑 , which I know neglected to do it properly. I can say good shoes also helps, My new blue running shoes did the job. I say dodon’tesitate If you are thinking to do a half-marathon. That would be the best experience of your sports life.
I hope I can manage to do a full marathon next year I hope which needs a lot of runs.
Hope this post encourages some of my friends that they can lace up and have a run.
Here are some photos for this event keeping in my insta Facebook photo book.
What inspired me at the event?
A lady running with a pram, running faster than most people.
A man in a wheelchair, participating in a full marathon.
Grandpa 70+ finished his full marathon
65+ ladies finished a 10km run in an hour and 19 minutes.
Cheers to running more… be kind always✨️
