Personal Note
“The marathon teaches you everything about yourself. It reveals your limits and then shows you how to push beyond them. Every kilometer is a lesson in perseverance.”
“Distance running is not about being faster than everyone else. It's about being better than you were yesterday. It's about finding that strength when there's nothing left, and continuing when every fiber wants to stop.”
– Olivia Jepkogei
