No regrets ....believe! :)

This has been an experience that would be forever carved in my heart. I was exited, worried, and scared when I decided to sign up and embark on this journey. This is my first time to go to a sporting event, I was anxious abouttraveling alone to a new country, and getting myself into such a challenging marathon. I tell you, I am so happy that I didn't give in to my fears and comfort, as this ended up to be one of an inspiring journey.

I have met amazing people from every corner of the world, we ran together, motivated each other, and cheered in ecstatic happiness as everyone succeeded and crossed the finish line!

I cannot describe the feelings that overwhelmed me the moment I finished the line, I was happy, proud, and inspired more than any other time in my life! I made it! The hotels were very cozy and nice, Travel agency has been amazing, they took good care of us the moment we set foot in china till we left this beautiful country! china has many spectacular places that you need to see and experience!

I have added all the five marathons on my bucket list, and I promise myself to finish them all! And after this experience I am more determined that ever to lead a healthy productive life full of such amazing experiences!
