Marathon: my story of how not to surrender and run to the end.

Running has become a part of my life in the last six months, before that I hated running, I could never understand this sport. Now running has become for me as something sacred and valuable – a totally mysterious process.

In this article, I would like to tell you why running is so cool and why it is worth choosing this sport for yourself for at least not a long period in your life. I will tell you about my experience at the Ukrainian Marathons, where people from different countries of the world participate in!

My race began in the winter, I will not hide that it was then when I hadn't been in the best emotional condition, but I had realized that I needed to move on, that I could be able to overcome my moral decline. I decided to start with physics to make my soul easier. I started running. It happened when I have been advised the excellent book of Joe Dispenza "The power of the subconscious or how to change my life in 4 weeks." And without any hesitation, I bought the membership to the gym and to the pool, then my life changed. I started running and listening to an audiobook simultaneously. Realizing that it was easier for me to run, I began to change my life. Probably, now you would think that it was so easy for me, and I was all so beautiful running there and hair flapping in the breeze like in all those films, no, nothing like that. It seemed to me that I could die on this unfortunate black path. 3 kilometers was my first result, yeah, far from escape, but I did not think about it. I cleared my mind and filled it with new information, my feet told me that I had been crazy, but the next day came and I packed my bag and went running again.

In a couple of weeks my result became better and more stable, 5km, 6km, 7km. The result became better every week, the pace was faster, and the slope was greater. Almost after every training, I went swimming, where I could leave all my saddest thoughts, running and water washed away all the past that dragged me down. I successfully said goodbye to the negativity and I have chosen to be that new, successful, strong, kind and still bright girl that chases her dream - to become an artist who will change this world.

I was proud of myself, and the book was almost finished and spring appeared on the horizon. My friends and acquaintances began to run in parks, and now it became a real challenge for me to start running outside but not inside because everyone has said that it'd be more difficult to run outside. A new stage, a new experience and I should take this step.

I started running outside, and a great man has appeared in my life who has become a very important and powerful person and who has shared my new hobby called running. With the help of support that my running has got new colors because I decided to run my first marathon in my life. The first official 13km. A new world, a world in which all people are equal and where there is no gradation, a world where you are, running and your victory.

To say that marathons are cool and fun, it's nothing to say. How many things happen to you when you run, people shout words of support, wave their hands, give water, sing songs, dance and give five when you run. The atmosphere is incredible! So much positivity during doing the sport I have never received. I can say unequivocally that my victory and reward belongs not only to me but also to the one who ran with me side by side, supporting and believing in me. The first medal, the first ovation and the first significant seconds of your finish. I smiled all 13 km, so, as surprise and happiness scattered on my body with goosebumps. A marathon is a paradox place because when I ran for the first time I saw how the guys poured Coca-Cola and served it to runners, I thought that it had been strange. We were there for health, how could it be? It turned out that Coca-Cola makes a strong release of glucose into the bloodstream during the first minute and in this way, a man has more strength to overcome the distance. My first victory opened Ukraine to me from a completely different perspective, and I saw that our country is sporty, that people care about each other. Marathons are run by families, old people, people with dentures and even children!

Naturally, my desire did not go out, and the next marathon I ran in the beautiful city of Lviv. And it was a new test for me, a new number. 21, 0975km. Now I really prepared for the marathon, I ran this distance gradually and steadily, but the excitement only increased, how could I run such a distance? After all, my longest distance was 13 km. How would I do this and would I have enough strength and faith to reach the finish. Surely, if it had not been for my great man and his faith in me, I would not have risked it, I would have found thousands of reasons why not, but I decided and this day came.

How many people came to run a semi-marathon, thousands of people were around me and all in a wonderful mood, someone stretched before the race, someone helped others by telling where to go and we were already at the start. The three of us: me, the great man and our friends. The countdown began: 10.9.8.7 ... there was no way back, and I did not want to go back.

Emotions overwhelmed me, and we began to run, now I will surprise you very much, saying that running 22 km is so easy! It's easy when you run and laugh when you chat and do not think. It's easy when you run and laugh, when you talk and do not think about numbers, every kilometer is worth. Crowd supports, shouts and claps the organizers give us water or isotonic at every 5th kilometer. There is a special artificial shower, through which you run, like in the rain, beautiful views and, of course, dear to your heart man.

At the 18th kilometer, there was a difficult climb and paving stones, stones underfoot, which made it harder to run. But that was this moment that I realized that our life, like this hill, has many different colored and gray stones, each of its special lifting and complexities, but if you easily treat barriers, then they become not a burden, but your pride and reward, because if you run through life with a smile, then you will definitely come to the finish line, where the reward will be waiting for you! And the longer and the winding the way, the sweeter your reward is.

I'll say this way: if I could, then you can. Just start running and your life will change. I plan to run in different countries, so I'll see you at the marathons.

 

I believe that you can.

Do it to the finish line and you will never give up again.

 

P.S. Dedicated to the Great Man and My Run Family.
