Four months — that’s how long I trained for the Cebu City Marathon. My goal was to finally finish in under four hours. Every week, I pushed myself. Sundays were no longer days for rest; they were for long runs under the moon. On weekdays, I rushed home from work, tied my shoes, and trained before I could talk myself out of it. I skipped gatherings and turned down invitations, not because I valued running over people, but because I couldn’t afford to miss a single session. Every kilometer was an investment.

Then came race day. I woke up sick. My body hadn’t fully recovered, but my mind refused to give up. “You’ve trained too hard to quit now,” I told myself.

The first half went perfectly. My pace was steady. My finish time looked likely to be 3 hours and 50 minutes. The route — a flat road lined with the city’s landmarks — filled me with pride. I believed I was reaching the dream I’d worked so long for.

But as I entered the tunnel for the second time, everything changed. My heart rate shot up. The sickness returned, stronger than before. My body got heavier with each step. Soon I was walking. I thought about stopping — maybe even calling for an ambulance to take me back. But something inside me refused.

I walked the remaining half of the marathon. Not as the strong, goal-driven runner I’d hoped to be, but as someone who simply wouldn’t quit. I crossed the finish line in 5 hours and 39 minutes — far from my dream.

But as I reflected, I realized something. The marathon wasn’t defined by the medal, the time on my watch, or the number I’d hoped to see. It was defined by the months of preparation, the restless nights, the early mornings, the missed celebrations, and the effort I’d put into every single run.

Do you get nervous thinking about geometry, equations (方程式) or a coming math test? If your answer is “yes”, you are far from alone. Math anxiety has become a common psychological condition among students around the world. Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Feb. 15.

Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. In ordinary life, many people experience some degree of discomfort when meeting with a math problem, ranging from mild tension to strong fear.

Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. They may then try to avoid every situation involving numbers, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this subject, such as science, technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.

Comfort comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined (注定的) to be bad at math. “If a
