I completed Singapore full Marathon on 9th-December. This was my 17th-full marathon+ distance overall. It was a great run, unforgiving weather (hot and humid) till it rained a bit at fag end around 41 km mark.
It is often said that:
"Runs end, Running doesn't".

Following are usually the phases one goes through while going through the full marathon-
0 km: I know I can do it.
14 km: It's getting painful. Did I make the right choice choosing to do it?
30 km: Why the hell did I start? Is it really worth it?
35 km: I am close to giving up.
40 km: I think I can push a little.
42.195 km: Never experienced a high like this.
Does this cycle sounds familiar with anything insurmountable that was ever attempted?
Oprah Winfrey was bang on target when she said-
"Running is the greatest metaphor for life, because you get out of it what you put into it."
