I did it! I ran my 1st marathon! Ok, so my knee gave out at 37k and I had to walk the last few kms, walk thru the finishing line too.. So much for the glamourous finish I had in mind. And so what if I exceeded my target by a whole hour and 20 mins. I set out to run a marathon, trained 18 weeks and endured the balance of time/schedule it took to train.
The race was great - atmosphere and logistics fantastic, kudos to the organisers of the Standard Chartered marathon. I ran a nice constant speed and was overall pleased. I overcame my mental weakness, overcame physical pain and cross the finish line.
Now that my big goal is over, time to focus on my life. I need to better balance the various major components : work, play vs the more impt things : God and people. And very timely too, being Advent and being end of year when one typically gets more retrospective.

The first one is always unforgettable, no matter how many times you have taken part. You did very well to finish so much within ur expected finishing time.
