Wow. I love every detail you poured into the telling of the marathon. The image that will stay with me the most, though, is that of you folding your legs up against your chest and wrapping your arms around them. "I tap into a store of inner strength. It’s intuitive and subtle, like the metta (‘loving-kindness’) that some Buddhist practitioners direct inward during meditation." What a gift.
I fondly remember the Blur Bayu by the beach. We did the Triathlon there and used it as our base for the event. Sadly last year when we came for the Kbabi Half Marathon, we saw the place gone for some new hiso building they were going to put up. We are planning our marathon at Samila beach, as the Songkhla Marathon will most probably be cancelled. The trend now is for running groups here is to just make their own private events.

Loneliness of the long distance runner, brilliant journal, thank you.
