Because I Can

Making my last few steps to the finish line with the patrol vehicles behind me who guided me from Capitol to Ayala being the last runner to finish the 21K race.

I thought this scene would only happen in the movies with an inspiring soundtrack playing in the background while the onlookers & bystanders cheer for the last girl running -- moving people to tears. LOL

I was at a loss running for the last 10K -- I was about to give up and go home but the Beatles in my ear drowned all my anxieties. My mantra on that day, "I can do this. I can finish this," put all my fears to silence.

Looking back, it was the worst run I've ever had yet the mere thought I finished the race was the most memorable and the sweetest challenge I had to endure.

Hunat Sugbu 2015 is definitely a good realization. It's not a shame to finish last but it is when you give up the fight.
