The Half Marathon
11:42 AM
Today, my body is so exhausted and so achy that it actually
hurts to breathe. The truth is for the
last 4 miles of the half, I felt this way. Sore, exhausted, hungry, and
blistered. I was so close though, that I kept moving. I pounded my feet against
the pavement – swearing that my feet were bleeding – until I crossed the finish
line. It was an emotional moment when it finally came to a screeching halt. I
had just run 13.1 miles at my own will.
After I stopped running and I finally caught my breath, I felt
stronger. I finished the half in the 3:03 minutes. It took 3:03 minutes for me
to regain all the strength I’d felt as though I lost since December of last
year.
Sore or not, I feel undefeated and it’s a feeling I’ll never
forget.
