My First Official Marathon Run in 2010

Neutrogena's Chase the Sun last May16 was my first official marathon run in 2010.

We runners indeed chase the sun as we gather at 5:25 a.m. for the group warm up stretching exercise...gunstarts at 5:55,just as the sun was rising in the east. It was a beautiful Sunday for us runners to be gathered again.

I thought i wouldn't last long because it's been a while since i did distance running...with very minimal instances of slow stride,as i was advised not to fully stop even when you're tired but to slow down & keep your stride, and some quick stop at the water station. I have finished my 5K run in 37 minutes++...whew!not bad for a start...Didn't had lots of pictures though but i guess what's more important is what you learn about your stride, your pace, your endurance and more of yourself as a runner along the way.

I am looking forward for the trail run next month.
