Karachi Marathon, done. ✅
My 2nd full marathon in just two months.
I walked to the start line stressed, carrying personal battles that had nothing to do with running. But somewhere along the road, I left that weight behind.
The first 20km went exactly to plan, right on my target pace. Then came the real test – cramps after halfway and surprisingly warm weather that made every step harder. I had to slow down, reset, and fight through the second half.
But Alhamdulillah, I finished.
Not with my fastest time, but with something far more important: I didn’t quit.
Proud to have completed another marathon, proud of the resilience, and grateful for the strength to keep moving forward when it got tough. This one was about heart, patience, and belief.
