Yay! The first marathon of 2017
Ran the 5k @ Contours Run.
My day started at 5 today. It's rare I wake up to watch the sun rise. But today was the day.
Took a cab and head straight to the Manyata Tech Park for the Run. It seemed as though all road were leading to Manyata this morning. Our cab which was moving at about 50 kmph suddenly started moving at 10kmph we arrived at the entrance.
Stepped out of the cab to head to the start line. Met my friend pooja who was waiting for the last 10 mins. We quickly dropped our bags at the baggage counter and ran towards the start line.
The run flagged off.
We began running slowly. Soon we realized we had completed a km. Siping glucose at the energy station we continued. Soon reached the 2 km mark. At the next mark, we spotted the cheerleaders. YES! They were my gym trainers. Shouting out loud and cheering.Soon we realized we had completed one lap and had just one to go. Our confidence just got deeper. We for once thought why just 5k ? We should have run the 10K :)
It is today I realized the mind's game. It's the mind that most importantly needs to be prepared. You need to train your body and your mind. If your mind says no, your body will give up.
