My achievement

I finally achieved something, apart from my academics (though they are not much). Today I successfully completed the austin marathon. Yes, 26.2 miles and all. It was an amazing feeling. The run itself was lots of fun. The people were awesome. The jokes, their encouragement makes you feel its easier to run. Of course, the young kids offering water and words of encouragement were highlights. There was even more special thing. A old lady of 75 years was out cheering each runner with names. It made me real happy.
The last 4-5 miles was pretty cool with my friends coming out to run/walk with me. I should thank them for making my last part pretty easy!!
The feeling is yet to sink in. But hopefully pretty soon it will.
