My first Marathon run
I did my first marathon run. I the run was good but the organization was the worst I have ever seen in my life. I ran the 7km race.
One thing happen to me is my legs went numb, I dont know way but that time I though it was better to slow down and walk. My legs hurts from under. But I finished the race that was my first goal to begin with.
Here is the organization problem that happen:
1. The start of the race was 20min time before time given in the instructions
2. The 4Km and 7km run went on the same time which cause alot of confusion during that race. Some 4km runners when the track for the 7km
3. I still havent recived what position I finished yet. There problem of people taking shortcuts. So they are going to put it on the internet after 24hr
4. The prize cermony is pretty bad. espically at the end. There isnt even a single dustbin or even a plastic bag to put the water bottels after is been finished. It all throwen on the grass floor of the Emaraties Palace.

I haven’t run any race in years, but I remember doing a local "Firecracker Five" and really enjoying it. I ran cross-country in high school and although I wasn’t the best athlete the fun of being on the team is something I’ll never forget.
Congratulations on finishing the race! Wishing you continued success!
Did they at least tell you your time? That’s something that was shown on an electronic timer as we crossed the finish line at the last race I participated in.
Years and years ago, I ran a 10-mile race in 70 minutes. The following year, though, I could only muster an 82-minute time for the same miles.
