Marathon

What and who are your challenges?

After around 10 years doing jogging with family, friends, girls friends, and most of the time I take over alone , I create this painting.

When I created this painting in 2018, I was thinking about running a marathon.

I did my research about champions like Usen Bolt, and and Jesse Owens

The Jesse Owens story has since gone down in history as one of the greatest sporting moments of all time.

He smashed the 100m record once again in a jaw-dropping 9.58 seconds before shaving the same 0.11-second margin off his own 200m record, running an unbelievable 19.19.

Owens triumphed in the face of adversity. Bolt triumphed in the face of impossibility.

Between them whose performance was more impressive?

Well, in terms of medals, it was Jesse Owens'. His four gold medals, in the 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay, and the long jump, outweighs Bolt's haul.

The thing is no matter how fast you’re doing something, if you don’t do what you have to do to achieve your goals, you will. It achieves them.
