First marathon feat in 42 words
Posted by: digitaldash on: 02.10.2010
Teeming with gratitude,
I was molded by training
That involved discovering strengths and limits,
And overcoming self-doubts.
I drew inspiration
From within and from people,
Resonating the vigor to finish
To everyone.
The full marathon:
Once far-fetched and feared,
Now solely revered.

Thanks, Ge! Thanks for the encouraging words sa comments section in my previous entry. Helped me conquer my fear of the 42, haha.
Congrats on your FM finish, too! 
Strong and all-smiles, as always! Nieces mo ba yung sa pics ni Edu? Cute cheerers!

Congratulations Tracy, the Marathon Lady! Not a lot of women can do your feat in such a short time. =)
(Teka dapat 42 words lang kasi 42K lang marathon! Hala takbo pa ng additional 8K hahaha)

Thanks, Dennis!
I have a looong list of people to thank for for attaining that time.
Congrats din on your strong finish!
(And oh btw, oo nga, pang-ultra ang 50, so I just edited it. 42 words na. Hehe, ayaw mag-add ng kms. )

Hi Tracy!
I think we were running alongside each other for a while. I was wondering if the Tracy in front of me was you. Ikaw nga!
Congrats on your sweet finish! Truly a life changing experience worth doing again. =)

Hi Janine!
Yeah, that was probably me! I actually thought I saw you, too, and about to ask you at one point if you’re Janine of Pacecreative blog but then, we had to cross an intersection, so I had to save my breath. Haha.
Congrats on your finish, too, marathoner Janine! Wow, second FM in two months! Galing!
02.11.2010 at 10:22 am
i COUNTED! 
Congrats, Tracy. This is just the start.
02.11.2010 at 4:12 pm
Thanks, Selle!
I guess the don’t-talk-about-running-a-day-before-FM rule doesn’t apply to me. Your advice certainly helped me on race day. Congrats on your second FM! You raced beautifully, as always!

Rare are the women who dare run the marathon.
Utmost respect we reserve for your breed.
Our deepest admiration for your fortitude and grace.
Where you dared go, may others follow.
While cheered by many, your marathon finish
is your achievement alone.

I’m so very happy for you (but sad that we still didn’t see each other). I hope you’re joining the 21k race at the Globe Run for Home this March 21. See you there?

Hi Nora!
Thanks. Yup, I did the full. As always, secret muna, then finally registered a month before the actual race day. Congrats on your half mary! Nice, nice!
And yeah, didn’t you see you (again!). Next time.
See you at Globe Run for Home!
[...] Five months ago, my second and not-very-serious MTB fall made me want to stop trail biking. I wounded and bruised my left knee, and scratched both palms. While it may seem like a minor injury, I considered it a big deal because it aggravated the discomfort in my right knee and almost halted my training for my first full marathon. [...]
