My First Marathon (马拉松)
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first PE class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn't do either well.He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years.When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line.I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoelaces (鞋带) became untied.So I stopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign:“GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished!And I got a medal.In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.

B.A winner is one with a great effort of will.

C
It's cold and dark outside,and your bed is so warm and comfortable.Going for a run seems like such a bad idea.But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.
According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter burns more calories because the body is working hard to regulate (调节) its core temperature.Furthermore, research shows that people run faster in cold weather than in warm weather — and quicker runs burn more calories.Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making the muscle even stronger.
Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day.The heat and humidity (湿气) in summer can drag you down and tire you faster,but cold weather is refreshing.It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel alive.
Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a big problem to winter exercise.Heart attacks, strokes, and lung cancer are all dangers of running in smog.The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems.If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust (废气), and go early in the morning,before rush hour.But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.
