Half Marathon!

According to my parents, I am the laziest girl in the world. (Maybe?? Who knows?) 
I really don't like doing anything which makes me tired, especially running (but I like walking, but not more than 5km). One evening, I was eating dinner in Cantina with some other people, then Kip, my math teacher, came and asked me if I wanted to join the half marathon for something related to Saharawi things. Then I got a feeling that I wanted to try. It was 21km :D and of course, I decided to go. 



I was very energetic at the beginning but after 10 minutes I was exhausted so instead of running, I started to walk. :D 
It was fun, though. Walking and talking to each other at the same time was just too much fun. Quite a few people already finished while we were still kind of at the beginning of the start. We were very slow, but we were not the slowest one. :) After an hour, all my energy was already away from me and I started to feel that I couldn't move on. But I didn't give up, but keep it up with a smiling face. Moreover, we didn't have anything to eat, I didn't even have water with me. Sooner after, Kip came with a bus and told us that we will have something to eat whenever it is we arrived in the college which helped us to be more energetic to move on because first when I thought that I didn't have anything to eat, I was just ... something like upset.
WOW!!! After 4 hours and 23 minutes we arrived in the college! Fantastic! We did it! 21km! We were absolutely delighted. As soon as we arrived in the college, the first thing that we did was to go to Cantina and eat. After that we slept just like we were dying because of the tiredness.




However, it was a very good experience for me since I'd never done something like that before and it helped me not being lazy anymore. Since then I started to love running or walking for a long way which is so much fun and also help me being healthier as well. :D GOOD!
