21st Winter Marathon

17 Feb 2024ㅣ21st Winter Marathonㅣ₩50,000 Training for the 21st Seoul Winter Marathon taught me that progress is rarely built on one exceptional day. Somewhere along the way, I stopped chasing faster training runs and started chasing consistency instead: returning the next day, and then doing it again. The same principle extends far beyond running. Improvement is often less about occasional intensity than the accumulation of ordinary efforts that seem insignificant on their own. Crossing the finish line reminded me that much of a race is completed long before race day, through all the unremarkable decisions to keep showing up. For this race, I contributed another ₩50,000 ($36.2 as of Aug 2026) to common&good, continuing to turn each personal milestone into something that can extend beyond the finish line.
