It took Tan Soh Hooi six hours and 55 minutes to complete her first full marathon. Her body was aching all over and she was exhausted from the gruelling distance. But when she crossed the finish line at the Muang Thai Chiang Mai Marathon in Thailand last Christmas eve, Tan felt on top of the world.

Completing the marathon was a feat but Tan’s real triumph was that she was able to do it just months after battling cancer.
