Barış has never been a sporty person. He used to spend his weekends watching television and avoiding any kind of exercise. However, six months ago, he decided to sign up for the Istanbul Marathon, and his life has changed since then.

His decision surprised everyone, including himself. His doctor had told him that if he didn't start exercising soon, his health might get worse, since he had been gaining weight steadily for years.

Barış started slowly, running only ten minutes at a time without stopping. He has since increased his distance , following a training plan he found online. Some days were extremely difficult, and he often wanted to give up.

His wife, Ceren, has been extremely throughout this journey. She used to join him for short walks, and eventually, she started running alongside him for encouragement, even though she wasn't training for the marathon herself.

After three months, Barış completed his first ten-kilometer run, something he never thought would be possible. He has kept a running journal since the beginning, and reading his early entries now makes him proud of how far he has come.

There have been , too. Last month, Barış his knee and had to rest for two weeks. He was worried that if he couldn't train properly, he wouldn't be ready for the marathon in time.

His running coach him, explaining that a short break wouldn't ruin his progress. "If you rest properly now," the coach said, "you will come back stronger than before." Barış trusted this advice and followed it carefully.

Now, with only two weeks left before the marathon, Barış has run distances he never imagined possible for himself. He has lost twelve kilograms and gained something even more valuable: in his own body and mind.

On the day of the marathon, Barış plans to run alongside Ceren, who has decided to join him for the shorter ten-kilometer race. "Whatever happens," he says, "I will always remember this as the year I became a different person."
