The race was easy but I ran fast pace until around the 4.5 km. After 5 km, it started to get tough, but with all the motivation and support I had, I pushed through and finished strong. I’m especially proud because I ran better than some consistently strong runners those who are usually considered the best. It wasn’t just about beating them, but about proving to myself how much I’ve improved and how far I’ve come. A heartfelt thank you to CK anna for treating me like a brother, always supporting me, and guiding me with care and dedication. Your belief in me made a big difference.

Without CK Sir this would not be possible. This man had invested his time in training me day and night, man with pure heart. The training was hard to manage with my college schedule but i still didnt give up because of CK sir, he took care of me and trained me well. Training with CK Sir was a good experience to me.

Gratitude for CK sir my gurugalu in this journey. Two months of unwavering dedication. From 23:46 to an 18:49 Timming in the 5km run. this feeling of achievement is somthing great. Every pain in practice, every drop of sweat, and every struggle shaped this journey..
