Discovering Saigon and Conquering Challenges with Tường Uy at the Techcombank Ho Chi Minh City International Marathon

Hi everyone,

I'm Tường Uy, and today I want to share with you my amazing experience at the Techcombank Ho Chi Minh City International Marathon. This is a big running race that I was really looking forward to, and I finally had the chance to participate.

I remember the day of the race so vividly. It was still early morning, and the cool, fresh air made me feel so invigorated and full of energy. I arrived at the starting point very early, and I was overwhelmed by the huge crowd. 17,758 participants, what an impressive number!

When the horn sounded, I started running. It felt incredible to be part of the crowd, all of us together conquering the running route. I ran through familiar streets of Saigon, but today, I experienced the city from a different perspective. Saigon in the early morning is so peaceful and serene, quite different from its usual bustling and lively atmosphere.

I ran along the Bach Dang Wharf, admiring the ships docked there. I ran across the Ba Son Bridge, taking in a panoramic view of the city from above. And I finished at District 2 Empire City, with a burst of emotions.

I pushed past my own limits, and I felt so proud of myself. I also realized that running is not just a physical activity, but also a way for us to discover the beauty of the city and connect with the community.

I want to encourage everyone, especially young people, to take time to exercise, even if it's just small workouts every day. Exercise not only helps us to be physically healthy, but also helps us reduce stress and anxiety, and boost our self-confidence.

I believe that if we have good health, we will study and work more efficiently, and at the same time, have a happier and more meaningful life.

Let's join me in participating in sports activities to improve our health and discover the wonderful things that our bodies and minds can achieve!

Nguyễn, Uy (Mike) Tường
