They say that a marathon race is akin to a show where the audience pays for the show and also performs in the show. I thought marathon is not for everyone, specifically me, until I took the courage to register for my first half-marathon a decade ago. It is given that every race is a learning experience for the runners but it also teaches an important lesson for life. Wouldn’t life be a lot better if people consider every challenge in life as a marathon, setting similar self-objectives, preparing themselves and working to meet their own goals rather than competing against one another to get to the finish line first? Marathon is not a rat race, life needn’t be either!
