Mardi Gras!
I couldn’t write yesterday since I was a bit busy.
I woke up at seven yesterday (at a weekend!) to do my school project. On the way there, I signed up for the marathon, the MTV Queen City Run. We were designing a person’s biography for science. We then went to SM to print our stuff and went back to put em’ all together. We ended at 1.
After leaving my classmate’s house with an apple and a banana (hehe), we went to SM to pick up a person that was also joining the marathon I was joining. We measured the distance between SM and the Lapulapu City Hall, since we doubted its actual distance. It was right; it really is 10-K (through the new bridge of course).
We arrived at the venue an hour ahead. This gave us time time to change and warm up. There were many hilarious people in costumes. Many were quite funny! Watching them helped pass the time.
When the gun at last fired, we went off. The first obstacle was the new bridge, which was kinda’ steep. At the end of the bridge was the first water station, which marked the first kilometer of the run. It was a little difficult drinking from the cup while running. Most people threw them half empty.
After the second water station, lethargy started to set in. This changed after I saw the 4th checkpoint. This checkpoint uniquely had invigorating music. I was drawn to its hypnotic beats.
I drank some water from the cup, then splashed rest on my body. This suddenly cooled my body, which really was relieving.
I finally reached the last kilometer. I ran with all I had at the last two or three kilometers (most runners do!).
AT LAST, I MADE IT!
I really want to place emphasis on that feeling. That feeling of accomplishment.
I then watched the Harry Potter movie, now that I’m in SM. After the movie, I decided to go backt to the party. Honestly, I hated it. It was no different from a rock concert, since it was one! I’m not saying that rock sucks, It’s just not my taste.
Okay, that’s my marathon!
