    That’s so impressive—road races like these are a real test of both physical and mental strength. I once tried running a 10K, and it was much harder than I expected, but finishing it was such a boost for my confidence. For recovery, I find playing chill games like Geometry Dash helps me relax my mind after tough workouts. Good luck to all runners in the next race at Beef Island!
