I never imagine myself joining the 21.1km marathon ever! As in ever! Hanggang 10km lang ako. Haha. It was a huge leap of faith for me to sign up and no backing out. I was surprised to myself that I had a guts and believing that I can do it. So last Friday was the moment of truth. My first ever Sundown marathon. I took half day leave so i can sleep and rest but unfortunately I didn't managed to sleep. It was a mixed emotion, nervous and excited!

| This is me before the race. Still fresh! :) |
It was really tough! When i reach 15km, i can feel my legs getting weaker and seeing some of the runners collapse in the middle or having muscle cramps makes my body even weaker. But i fight for it!! I had to ignore those negative thoughts that coming to my head and just continue. I can do this! 18km, i'm already praying to Him to give me strength and finish the race strong and healthy. It's no longer I but God sustaining me strength. And I really thank Him! I did it!!!
