Twincity 2019. "The Marathon". As of now.
So the months of hard work and life dream has finally broken. I have finally broken that 4:30 barrier, here in home soil, with few minutes to spare, and 7 minutes solat within. 4:25 official time. 4:18 for my own benefit and record to beat. Alhamdulillah. None of this would have happened without his blessings. Flash back to how the whole marathon journey begins. I never knew marathon distance was 42.2 km. I thought that was crazy. But knowing that the prestigious races, the World Marathon Major is at that distance, I had silently developed that long for that distance. My first marathon was in 2014. Based on my recent HM at that time, I might be capable of sub 4:45. So I had an eye for that Sub 5 hours marathon even for my VFM and was fulfilled only in Twincity 2016. One major contributor to the delay was of course pregnancy with Naela. So that eye for sub 4:30 began in 2017. So having it achieved clean in 2019, it took 2 years as well. Looks like I may have a chance for a break...
