My 42k Journey: Manila Marathon 2025

#galaxymanilamarathon #manilamarathon2025 #runrio I completed my third marathon, and it was brutal! It was supposed to be a sub-4 marathon, but anything could happen. They say every marathon has a story. Mine isn't about setting a personal best or chasing glory. My story is about what happens when your body breaks and your plan falls apart. I showed up believing I was ready. But the race has a way of reminding you who’s in charge. One minute, I was running strong; the next, a wrong drink sent my world spinning. My stomach flipped, my vision went blurry, and my legs felt like stone. I was on the edge of stopping, of walking off the course and saying, “Maybe not today.” I didn’t run the perfect race, but I ran the one that showed up. I finished it, not because it got easier, but because I refused to quit. Maybe a revenge marathon next time? It was a lot of fun! ☺️🔥 Camera: DJI Osmo 360 SUBSCRIBE    / jccrisostomo   FOLLOW ME   / crjcostomo     / crjcostomo
