First Marathon: 42.195km - A DREAM COME TRUE!

I can't believe I did it. I ran my first marathon on 2nd December 2012 and am the first person in my entire family (extended family included) to have ever run the marathon. It took me 6 hrs 46 mins (slow I know) to complete. The pain between 30km and 42km was excruciating and was so happy to have made it across the line. This is one of the greatest achievements of my life as I was almost morbidly obese at one time in my life. The turnaround to my life, physique and achievements have been huge. Running a marathon was a dream for me just 2 years ago. Today it is a reality. This proves that anything can be achieved when you put your mind to it. With this life achievement under my belt, I have now set my target on gaining a ripped physique as soon as possible; and if I can run a marathon, I can definitely do this!

30min workout

Today I did a 30 min workout with stretches, pushups, situps, crunches, leg-raises and plank. It was very intense and I didn't slow down during the whole workout. My goal is to do this same routine daily until I reach my goal of being ripped.
