I Want to Be a Marathoner

I just joined Bloggityboop Birthday Blog Contest. I'm done with the first requirement as I have blogged about the giveaway in my previous post.



Now, here's for the second...

What do you want to have for your birthday and why?

It's a tough question. A lot of things run through my mind, from owning an authentic Rajon Rondo jersey to owning a house and even getting married. Well, why not? It's my birthday. But, let me go with something that I can do myself; something that can be achieved by mere perseverance and will power from within me. Hence, on my birthday (which will be on November 23), I want to be a marathoner. But if I fall short, a half-marathoner will do, hee hee. I don't want to force myself, that's why.

You may be wondering why o why do I submit myself into such boring 42.195K of running. To answer that, it's simple. For a runner, the ultimate goal is (other than the ultra's), to ran a full marathon - at least once in your lifetime. Not many can do such. The fulfillment, the FINISH line, the title, it all gives you the boost. And, the learning that you get from the training to the doing that thing is something which can be applied to life, itself. Well, if I got a little more lucky, I would love to run my marathon in BOSTON.


And if I am really that focus on my goal, I should start and re-live my passion for running, NOW!
