My First Ever Marathon Run
October 6th 2007 for the first time in my life i run a Marathon along with thousands of other people. It was a short marathon run but the experience was pretty good.
My company had organized a marathon run just to keep up the spirit ;-). When i saw the mail that such a thing is happening i had no seconds thoughts and i decided to register(though a free T-shirt was also a catch for people who register). Today i had to get up at 5am in the morning(omg! i got up) and catch the bus to the place where the marathon was to start. I wore a jeans and a T-shirt considering the fact that the return is only at 10am and i dont want myself to be dressed up in “Burmuda” or short pants. When i got to the stop everyone was in short pants or tracks and I was the only one with jeans. The kinda looks these people gave….aaah cant express how i felt. I then thought why should i care about what people think. Im here to run and i’ll no matter what i wear.
Bus came on time and i was picked to the company campus where the marathon aka run was to start. I got down collected the T-shirt, wore that and was ready to get going. The short run was to start by 7.30 am only and i already had 45 minutes left, so i looked around the crowd to see some familiar faces. I saw one guy from my project and deecided to stick with him. He was for the long run(10km) and by 7 he was off, so i again looked around and aila found a mallu guy. He was also for short run. The run was flagged off by 7.25 am and we were off. The guy whom i met he just zoomed to the front but i decided to jogg slow. I got really tired even in the 1st KM itself because i was without any exercise for quite a long time.
As the run progressed things where fine and i started enjoying the run though my legs dint like the strain i was giving. It was pretty nice to see pretty old people also running. I completed my run by 7.50 am and thus i have completed my First Ever Marathon RUN.
