jakarta marathon, 27 october 2013 -- 10K race.
the stepping stone.
there's something different or if i may say, something special about this race than any other (5K) races i've joined so far.
the first and obvious one is, of course, the distance.
yes, it's the first 10K race for me and my buddy.
the reason we trained is for this race. to be able to finish strong (and happy) with a good result.
and to make it special, it's on october 27th; my buddy's birthday!
so yes, she's running her birthday race! :)
we run the whole race, from start line to finish line together. finished the race by doing sprint run to the finish line :)
time result?
1h10m55s (net) according to ipico timing system. not bad at all. as my goal was not more than 1h25m.
somehow someway, this race also had touched me emotionally.
seeing runners giving supports to other runners--pats on the back, high fives or even hugs. they cheer each other. they even help each other when one got injured.
i get to feel such a positive, warm and uplifting vibes from seeing it. reminds me on why i love sports at the first place. and it's proven to be true when they say runners are the nicest people :)
seeing those half-marathon and marathon runners conquering the battles (with jakarta's heat, the mind block and the physical exhaustion), pushed themselves to the finish line and finish strong. u'll the inspired just by seeing it. guaranteed.
so,
deciding to sign up for 10K on jakmar as the stepping stone was the best decision.
running the first 10K race with my buddy on her birthday, seeing her pushed herself though she was already worn out, and sprint to the finish line. proud of her!
the joy of running or race is togetherness with my friend. supporting each other. and sharing the same passion.
*keep inspiring, running, sharing and caring :)
*cheers to more trainings, runs and races to come! :)
