This past weekend I went all the way to Benoni to run my first 21 kilometre race for the year with my running partner Eden as well as it being my first race after falling ill a few weeks back.
I know I say this a lot but this race was difficult because, firstly I was not physically prepared because I had not trained properly for the last two weeks and secondly I was not 100% mentally ready because I knew I was not physically prepared.
With me saying that I completed the race in 1 hour 33 minutes and 12 seconds. I was the second junior and I placed 67 overall out of 3215 other athletes.
This was a excellent result for me because during the run I felt so tired that I had to stop but I kept telling myself that " I'm not a quitter and that I can catch the 1 hour 30 minute bus because I am stronger than I feel and that I can only stop when I'm done not when I'm tired".
