My First Half Marathon

You cannot give up!

Before I even began, I was starting to doubt myself.

I had no sleep and my legs were already sore.

Nevertheless, I began to run.

Within 2km, I found myself lying in goose sh*t with an angry goose attacking my face.

My water supply was now drained and my pace was ruined but, I did not give up.

Soon enough, the heat became unbearable.

I tried to take off my shirt but, it just ripped off.

I still continued.

With no water, I ran from shade to shade trying to keep cool.

After 8km I finally broke and had to stop.

I sat there thinking to myself “there’s no way I’m gonna fail this”.

“I said I was gonna do it so, now I have to”.

“Otherwise everyone who doubted me would get the satisfaction of me failing”.

I couldn’t let that happen!

I hit up my team.

One of my boys instantly pulled up to pace me and brought water.

From there it was smooth sailing until the end.

This is why I emphasize so much about having a good team around you.

If my boy didn’t show up for me, I definitely would’ve FAILED.
