Why I’ll Never Forget My 7-11 42KM Run

My 7-11 42KM run was my second marathon, and it became one of the toughest races I have ever experienced. Just a few days before the event, on January 25, I had an accident and overstretched my ankle. Even though the marathon was scheduled for January 31 to February 1 in the early morning, I still chose to show up and challenge myself.

The race started strong, but after 8KM, I had to remove my ankle support because my foot started to feel numb. I tried to stay positive and continue running, but by the time I reached 16KM, the pain became worse. From that point on, I decided to walk the remaining distance instead of run, fighting through every painful step.

It was not the marathon I originally hoped for, but it became a true test of mental strength and determination. Despite the pain and setbacks, I refused to quit and kept moving forward. I crossed the finish line before the sun came out, proud of myself for finishing what I started.
