There's a kind of magic that takes place when you run at night.

You See: Lights in the Dark

You Hear: Your footsteps, Your heartbeat

You Smell: The scent of the fresh night breeze

You Touch: The coolness of the air

You Taste: The nearing victory of completing your run

This is my biggest achievement. To complete my 1st full-marathon, though, it was far from my target completion time of 5 hours but for a starter like me would consider good enough. Training only began like 2 months before the actual date. Every session was like 1 to 2 hours, so having to complete the whole race like 7 hours was amazing.

To add more spices to this, I was working at a Food Fair on the same day of the race. Only managed to get some time off from my boss so that I would have ample rest before the run. For all I can remember, the whole day was pouring water to my throat. Kept hydrating! From 100 plus to H2O then to Ice-Milo, Bananas, Chocolate to save more energy.

To end our race, I & Hubby were holding hands and sprung our pace to the victory.

A kiss from hubby to end the race.

I'd accomplished my race! Yes, I did it again.
