5- Failure
It is said that failure is the path to success, and it is also said that failure is an opportunity that allows you to start over in a better way and with greater wisdom.
After I have finished Race The half marathon made me realize that my relationship with running was no longer just a passing phase; I knew it was a lasting one, and my wife, my brothers, my family, and my children realized that too.
My wife once asked me, in her clever and sly way, how runners calculate the distances they cover and the time it takes to complete each run. I replied that this is done either by Apps She began talking about the different types of specialized mobile phones and sports watches and how they work, and she listened attentively.
About a month later, my wife gave me one of the best sports watches. I was overjoyed with that watch; I felt like I had become a professional athlete and that I would be competing against the world’s best runners for the top spots in the most important marathons around the world. In fact, owning that sports watch had a huge impact on my approach to sports and running, and my desire to exercise grew stronger and stronger—often just so I could use that watch I loved, rather than for the sake of the exercise itself.
My next goal was a full marathon—42.2 kilometers. I searched online for information on how to train for that distance until I found a plan that seemed good to me; it was offered for free to anyone who registered to participate in a virtual marathon and lasted sixteen weeks. I signed up, got the plan, and put it into action.
I stuck to my training routine well, but toward the end of the program—just two days before the virtual race—I felt extremely tired and occasionally dizzy, and I began to doubt my ability to complete the 42-kilometer distance. I saw a doctor and found out that I was deficient in several vitamins and needed some rest. After sixteen weeks of sticking to my workout routine, I decided that I wouldn’t Run The marathon distance—I had to take a break for a whole month

هل هذا “فشل” يا كابتن؟؟ 🙂 لقد بذلت غاية جهدك وفعلت ما هو مطلوب منك وزيادة.. ولكن لجسدك عليك حق، ولا شك ان اثر هذا الset back الصغير كان ايجابيا على المدى الأبعد قليلا
اتمنى لك دوام الصحة والعافية يا صاحبي
صديقي احمد، الفشل كان بالتجربة بحد ذاتها اذ انها لم تنجح تلك المحاولة.
على كل، معك حق فلاجسامنا علينا حق 🙂
