My first Half Marathon (La Jolla, San Diego)

Yeah! I made it to the finish line in 2 hours and 34 minutes (for 13. 5miles)! I can't believe myself! It's crazy, but I did it!
My training was on and off, but over the last 3 weeks, I have been jogging 3 times a week. I had jogged 6miles at the most before running the half marathon. So I wasn't sure if I could finish the whole 13.5miles. Plus, MP3 is prohibited. You know, I have been training with my MP3 all the time. How can I run without my MP3? and without any company? Yeah, so I was telling everyone that I wasn't going to be able to finish it.
But when you see over 5000 people running together, there're lots of people in front of you and behind you, you got this motivation in you that you need to keep running! And I thank God that He substained me, He reminded me of all these songs in my heart. My heart was singing

Side by side we stand...
Meet me in Heaven (when i was actually thinking about the finish line!)

You are my strength when I am weak..

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength...
His strength is perfect, when our strength is gone
He will carry us when we can't carry on
Raised in His power, the weak becomes strong
His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect!

God reminded me that even though I am alone and may feel lonely, He's always there for me! Even though I don't have anyone to talk to during the race, God is the one that 's there keeping me going! Human has a lot of limitations, my friends can't be there because it's a long way from home and it's too early. Isn't it great that wherever you are, and however early it is, He's right there in your heart! Thanks, my father!

All in all, it's such a nice experience! we got nice weather and nice scenic route! I couldn't have asked for more! I will definitely do it again!

Hey friends, if I can do it, you can do it too!
