Marathon in the Villa
I stood excitedly at the start line for the annual cross village marathon with my three running buddies Chidi, Naza, and vicky.
With our belts fastened, we took a deep breath, getting ready for the challenge. For the first few miles, we ran with lack of enthusiasm and determination.
As we made our way through tree shades, the sweet smell of ripe guava filled the air, making us want to stop and take a break from the race. We took a sharp left, laughing and straying off the path.
Picked some juicy guavas off the trees and savored the sweetness of their freshness. This was one of the best parts of our marathon journey.
By the time we made it to the halfway point, we were feeling the exhaustion but Vicky’s support kept us going. We were determined to finish strong and with me in the lead, we urged each other on and made it to the finish line together, hand in hand.
Till now my body hurts from the race but I will be fine soon as long as I have my friends.
