New Input (include hiking in training plan)
I had my full support from my dad for this Personal Project - Always on the Run. My father is an experienced marathon runner, he is very supportive in what I am doing now and what I am trying to achieve. He also give me ideas and provides suggestions to me in this area. Today, he suggested an activity for me to train for my stamina which is hiking. So I plan to do hiking for the upcoming marathon event (preparation).

Reflection
I did not have any experiences in marathon events/competition and this is my first time to join marathon. To ensure that I can complete the 10 km marathon without injury, I think I need to do some training for it. This is my first time participating marathon competition, I think I will not perform very well but I can take it as an experience for me.
My father who is a marathon runner, suggested and asked me to do more cardio exercises to develop and improve my stamina.
