Running became a personality trait. Then swimming and cycling arrived, which feels like an administrative error.

The training arc
START - 01/09/2021Started running seriouslyOne pair of shoes. No concept of easy pace.
5K - 13/09/2021First 5K without stoppingGo slow, but don't stop.
10K - 20/09/2021The first real benchmarkGo slower, can stop for a while, but dont come home without completing it.
HALF - 11/12/2022Half marathonHad gotten significantly faster, thought of testing how far I could go.
5K PR - 07/06/2023Fastest 5K timeProbably the longest standing PB, because right after this had a surgery which made me bed ridden for 6 months.
RESTART - 11/08/2025Naruto: ShippudenThe hot girl at work poked my belly. Now need to get rid of the excess body fat.
BDAY HALF - 05/01/2026ZindaDecided to run a half marathon on my birthday so I could eat cake without feeling guilty.
FIRST RACE - 19/07/2026Asics Run Melbourne Half Marathon 2026When everything went wrong, the only thing that kept me going.
MARATHON - 30/08/2026Brighton Beach Marathon 202642.2 km of character developmentPlot: repetitive. Soundtrack: excellent. Ending: emotional.
There was a time when my mind decided to end everything. Somehow, that same mind carried me across a marathon finish line. Running didn't make every problem disappear. It just gave me somewhere to go when I couldn't find a way forward. Completing a marathon didn't change me, training for one did.
