The
sound of the starting gun was like a shot of adrenalin in my arm and I was off
with about 20,000+ other runners. By the time we made the first turn I was just
exuberant with the thrill of passing so many people and was sure I’d hit or
exceed my time threshold.
I thought that I would not enjoy running and that it would be too painful and would be hard on my joints.
It was a great marathon
experience. The best thing is that I learned another lesson that my
determination and drive will lead me to wherever I want to go, be in marathon
or in my everyday life.
