miles at a time — again and again.He’s a devoted marathon （马拉松） runner who finds the discipline （训练） of his chosen sport to be good for his body and spirit — and he has no plans to quit. 　　Since 1992， when he took up marathon running to try to quit smoking， he’s averaged two marathons a year.After he succeeded in quitting smoking， he set a new goal： running a marathon in all 50 states.He completed that goal in 2021 in a marathon at the Hoover Dam near Boulder City， America. 　　The Great Wall Marathon organizers suggested the runners train on steps as most of the Great Wall is made up of

brother sent me Jeff Galloway’s book on running for Christmas in 1999.In the book， he said， ‘Anyone could run a marathon if they went through the training.’He talked about his dad running the Boston Marathon in his 50s.I was 52 at the time so I started training to see if I could.I ran my first marathon in Chicago in 2000 with 35，000 runners.” 　　“Running has made me a more disciplined person when it comes to exercise， eating and my mental and emotional health，”Cummings says.“It helps me to relax and relieve stress.Sometimes I go for a run just for relief and a chance to obtain a fresh outlook （视角） from the beginning of regular running these past 30 years.” 　　It is the enjoyment and sense of accomplishment （成就） that motivates （激励） him to keep running and training. 1.Why did Cummings start
