I am quite comfortable running a half marathon, read my post first half marathon on how I got started. So the next adventure in line was off course completing the full marathon. When I made it public that I was participating in a full marathon, it was wonderful to observe peoples reaction. Some believed in me, encouraged me saying I could do it. Some thought I was joking and I would run only a half marathon if at all I did. And my good friends just noticed me being more crazy than my usual.

Physical activity is an important aspect of our life. As we age we give less and less importance to this aspect under the pretext of priorities. I decided to run a marathon to provide myself a reminder for the rest of my life. A reminder of being mentally and physically strong, a reason to start working out again whenever I lose touch. To do it at least once so that it will inspire me for a lifetime. My inspiration was my best friend who in spite of a knee injury and a one year rest to recover from subsequent surgery came out strong and ran his first half marathon.
