发帖数: 2 | 1 “Run, run, and keep running!”
Those are the words I repeated to myself numerous times in the race, a 2-hr
journey of South Shore Half Marathon Race on April 9, 2011. Actually, the
long journey started 12 months ago.
After a normal non-exercise winter, I was surprised that my weight had
reached a personal-record point, 178 lbs, in last April. “I need to do
something to change.” I talked to myself. After some research work to
compare pro’s and con’s and also considering my schedule, I chose running.
The start period was NOT easy, especially to a person who had hardly any
regular exercise in the past ten years, like me. The first target I set to
myself was to run 30-min continuously. I couldn’t even do it in the first
few weeks. I had to do a run-and-walk, instead. Persistence is the key. I
gradually felt better breath and lighter legs, and I reached my first
target in about 6 weeks. Then, my next goal was 1-hr running. Sounds a
breakthrough, right? “Be patient!” I talked to myself again and then
broke the big goal into smaller ones – 5 minutes incremental every one or
two weeks. Sounds easy now, right?
Run and run with dropping temperature and darker mornings. Winter was
approaching. “May I stop since I’ve already lost 20 lbs so far?” I
asked myself. I was struggling a little bit and the Angel and the Evil in
my mind were fighting all the time. “I won’t stop and I will finish my
first Half Marathon Race in April 2011.” With huge encourage from a “Pro
” runner and newer coworker, Mr. XXX, I made my mind and the Angel won.
Then, I finally finished my first one.
Some advice to who would like to start running? Yes, a lot. But the most
important part, to me, is to be motivated, set up a clear goal, persist on a
plan, be patient, and don’t get injured.
