When I heard the starting gun which signals the start of the race, I began to run slowly but surely to reach the finished line... and finally, I reach the finished line to accomplish my first 10k marathon. Rank number 61 with personal time 00:59:59 but that was six years ago. My next aim to run a 21k but never realized, maybe someday I can do it.... and maybe next full marathon 42k . The good shoes to recommend is the  Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit 2.
