When you love someone or something, sometimes you don’t have explanations for your behaviors toward your love, but here are some enlightenments of what happened before, during, and after the race.
Just before the race started, I had one very short moment of tears in my eyes, maybe it’s the happiness for finally standing to start what you have been preparing for the last couple of months, maybe I had a short glimpse of the finish line, I don’t know.
While running I had a sense of euphoria that poured tears into my eyes and made my breath shallow and difficult to take but I didn’t mind at all, it was like meeting the love you waited for so long.
I had another attack when I fought pain at the end, people were trying to boost me up and I was trying to hide my pains and trying to love my journey.
My complete breakdown came at the end, while I am approaching the finish line, you should have seen my face, trying like a kid to hide his cry for losing his love while passing by his friends.
I took a moment by myself and tried to understand what happened and try to pour on what started, but it wasn’t crying, it was some sort of euphoria that breaks into tears and continued as I hugged my wife.
I felt on that day as a man who got his Ph.D., as a man who survived a crashing plane, a real life-changing experience.
The next night I signed up for my next race, but I couldn’t sleep afterward, had a couple of hours of emotional distress, but now I am OK.
I told you, it’s like love, so get ready for some emotional bumps during your journey.
