Running, Defeat Ourselves

Loneliness.

It was not the same with the short route, I felt lonely in the long route. "Maybe, the feeling appeared, because it was the first time for me to face it," I thought.

There were some runners in front of me, a few metres ahead. I just kept the distance. I didn't want to overtake, because I was not sure about the route, the streets that I had to pass through.

9K. I saw the numbers on my Huawei Band 6 Smartband.

Almost done.

It was a very difficult situation. It was near the finishing target, but on the other hand, the feet seemed very heavy to 'carry'.

But I thought in my mind that I nearly got the target. I had almost reached 10K. I had to stay focused on the journey.

Step by step had passed. I prayed to God to give me strength to finish this running. I doubted myself. I never did such kind of long running route before that time.

But I made it. I could finish the route. One hour and several minutes. Not bad for the beginner. I thought like that.

Some snacks like pieces of watermelons, bananas, and, of course, drinks such as mineral water, were served. Exhausting, tired, thirsty, they were disappeared after consuming meals and drinks.

It was the first time that I faced the long route running and I had succeeded. Although at the first moment, I doubted my ability, and the big question was appeared in my mind," Can I do it?"
