Gathering at the start line |
I could only run till 25km, my legs didn't have enough stamina to continue running, so i started walking.
30km: uncountable moment that i wanna give up. I even teared quietly, felt my fragility and helplessness.
33km: the sun was too hot today. I felt dizzy, some people got heat stroke, some requested to be sent back to the endpoint. I was really tempted to lompang. Struggling, even told myself that it's ok if i learnt to give up by using this chance... but i quickly shifted my mind, i told myself to persist. Then, i set my target 1km by 1km.
39km: The devil and angel were fighting when I saw the Red Cross. I almost stopped. It really pains me to continue, but it hurts much worse to stop. So I clenched and gritted, told myself that only 3km left! 3km, 3km! It's so near yet so far!!!
Continue walking, thinking of moments that make me happy, that make me trust the world and myself, eavesdropping ppl conversation, listening to others’ music, looking at people who continue running behind me, seeing 70yr old aunty overtook me, and the blind who nvr give up, i felt the courage.
I continue walking by soul. My walking pace is fast usually, but this time i was so slow that ppl overtook me. That reminded me of aging lolll really have to train more.
In the end when i passed the line, i heard my name being announced, i was so touched that "yes, finally i am here." I nvr had such feeling before. If there was someone for me to hug, i would definitely cry out loud.
I heard people‘s support along the way: drivers honed for us! Photographer said i looked sharp! Runners said running a marathon is not just for bragging or for the participation, it's for your own goal.
Conclusion: i walk slowly but i never walked backward - by Abraham Lincoln

Finally, the angel wins the devil! Haha |
Reflection: I don't have much time to train this time, but I still went for it. Did not manage to rest well the day before - walked a lot and did not sleep well. Did not bring my pouch, could not find it last minute, so I had to run with my string bag, and it hurt my shoulders. The weather was very hot today, plus sun rain, hence sunburn and it is painful now. I have never prepared to run under such a high heat and I got menses, my body condition was never ready. However, I believe that these are some area to be improved. I felt very lucky that I could still achieve my goal despite of these barriers.
Eventually, yo learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants you to quit.

耶,终于成功解锁人生中第三次的马拉松。俗话说:“三是一个很神奇的数字”。这次也算是终于达成自己的目标啦~往下看我这次简短的心路历程
。
。
这次的全马实在是只有四个字"精疲力尽"。
.
这次只能坚持跑到25km,后面腿就不行了😅就开始用走的
走到30km,无数次想要放弃的念头,甚至还自己在那边默默飙泪,顿感自己的脆弱与无助。
.
走到33km,看到有人已经放弃,要求载回去endpoint,很想求lompang。心里在挣扎,甚至告诉自己有时候学会放弃也是一件好事...可是摇摇头转念一想,跟自己说没关系再坚持一下下。之后就是1km 1km地慢慢target。
.
走到39km,看到红十字,很想倒下去,可是咬着牙齿,握着拳头,跟自己说还有3km而已!!!可是这3km是何等的漫长吖~ 我知道放弃很容易,身体的疼痛让我很想停下来,但是我知道如果我放弃,停下来之后后悔的话,我会更难受。
.
我很用心地继续在走,心里想着让自己开心的事情,偷听别人的对话,听听别人的音乐,看着后面一群群还在坚持的跑友, 看到70岁的阿姨迎头赶上,看到盲人跑友坚持不懈,不停地对自己信心喊话,告诉自己快到了。这最后的几公里简直就是用毅力在生存。
.
继续地走,真的是用心在走,用精神在坚持。我平常走路都很快,看到这次居然有人走得比我快,就在那边想真的天外有天。lolll
.
到最后最后穿越终点,听到司仪居然报起了自己的名字,心里觉得"哇我终于坚持到这里了"!志愿者在终点给high5,忍不住流下一点眼泪,其实我也分不清是泪水还是汗水了~就是全身起鸡皮疙瘩那种...如果这时候有人在终点等我的话我一定抱着放声大哭。
。
一路上,听到陌生人的支持: 有驾驶人士为我们鸣笛,拍照的时候摄影师说wow looking sharp,也有人说参与马拉松不只是为了sign up。
。
结语: 我虽然走得很慢,但是我没有后退。by林肯
反思: 这次完全没有什么时间准备,就这样皮厚厚上场了。前一天也没有好好休息,也走了很多路,睡眠不足。腰包没有带到,变成需要带string bag跑,结果跑得很重,不舒服。天气特别炎热,又有太阳雨,结果sunburn,现在全身痛。平时也没有在太阳下备跑,加上来大姨妈,身体状态完全没有准备好。不过我相信这些都是自己可以进步的地方,很幸运这次还是可以在困难重重的情况下达到自己的目标。
跑马,真的让自己努力战胜内心千千万万个想要放弃的念头。我会继续加油的。
