Running tests endurance, discipline, mental strength. I hated running and therefore felt I lacked in those three components. Of course, the feeling of inadequacy always gives me the extra boost to overcome it. So what did i do? I straight up signed up for a half marathon with no training or running experience (except freshman year in high school for P.E.). After weeks of mental preparation and physical training, I got my bib and was deathly afraid. Just weeks prior i couldn't run 2 miles and somehow on race day, I managed to pull off 13.2 miles. my first ever half marathon. i did it!!!
This is my way of documenting my life based on a set of lists - gradually adding and crossing as I continue to grow. The way I see it: Push Boundaries, Conquer Fears, Explore the Unfamiliar, -- & find the beauty in it all (greatly inspired by my best friend & sister, Erene). Life is an adventure so might as well enjoy the ride!
