It was a perfect weather and a very well organized event. It was great to see my friends run it too.
During the last few miles I got leg cramps and it was harder running down on the slopes but I can’t complain because I had so much fun.
It is crazy how something difficult that requires so much hard work, mentally and physically can be fun.
I believe that the love of this sport keeps a runner committed even when gracefully miserable. Gracefully miserable… when you start praying for more strength, complaining of discomfort, wondering why you signed up for this and realizing that only crazy people will do what you are doing.
Amidst misery you pick yourself up and listen to what your body tells you on how to reach the finish line. You may go at a fast or slow pace. The ones who win the crown are the ones who do not give up.
“Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope…” Romans 5:3-4
