The marathon took place last Sunday (18th September) not far from Red Square. As I've heard, there were about 5000 people running the marathon, however only about half of them were registered, though it's good to know that so many people of various age come and participate in these kind of events. There were two marathons going on at the same time - the 10km (the one that I ran) and the 42km (for crazy people only). Even though it was only 10km I still showed perseverance and commitment (I had to push myself to finish the marathon because it was really tough).
The marathon begun at exactly 12 o'clock and the whole street was flooded with people. It was really hard because I didn't prepare for this physically and I really struggled but lets admit, 10km is quite a long distance and surprisingly I finished it in 1:00:47 which is a pretty decent result and I WILL improve that in the other upcoming marathons.Overall this marathon was a lot of fun, a great way to test myself, I definitely undertook a new challenge, increased my awareness of my strengths and areas for growth and lastly I engaged with issues of global importance (It was international peace marathon with few thousand people from all around the world). I hope of doing it again and improving my personal best.
