Cindy – Jounal Entry June 2019 #11

During this day I ran a 10K marathon called "Ruta La Paz" which is organized to fundraise money for the scholarship program of my school. This was the second marathon that I had ever run in my entire life. I started training 2 months before and until a day before the race I was able to run 8K with no problem, yet 10K still seemed to be hard. At the end, I ran the kilometers I thought I would not be able to and won first place. Ths experience taught me that no matter what my fear makes me think, if I work hard enough to get something... I will get it and even more. Consistency pays off, and this is a proof of it. Winning first place was not the most remarkable part... the most remarkable one was the fact that this helped me improve in one of my favorite hobbies, gave me self-confidence and allowed me to give something back to my community by running for my own education. Some challenges were the pain in the training but I can assure that it was worth it at the end.
