I. Surfeit Joy Turns to Sorrow (乐极生悲) (Sunday, 10-26-2014)
Min and I had very pleasant chat after dinner last Friday. I presented him
my wish list for this Christmas and my 52nd birthday next May: a triathlon
bicycle, bicycle gears, swimming gears, new Garmin watch for triathlon. Min
laughed at me for giving him the holiday/birthday wish list so early.
However, he graciously agreed to fulfil all my wishes, which means he will
support my training for sprint triathlon next year. I was over joyed by his
goodness to me.
I had a sweet dream on Friday night, swam in open water and completed a
sprint triathlon. Woke up very happy on Saturday morning, I went out to run
14 miles with two running friends, Craig and Gary, while our other BG
teammates took a break on Saturday and prepared for the half marathon on
Sunday. I enjoyed the run and was excited by the new running route. It was
wonderful and much appreciated to have Coach Rick providing us water at the
6.2-mile. All went well until the 12.27-mile where I fell on a concrete
side walk of a concrete bridge. Ouch, it hurt, really hurt!!!!!! That was
my 1st fall (pray it'll be my last fall, too), which was ugly and awful:-(((
. Thank Craig and Gary for offering various helps. Thanks also to my other
running friends who left kind comments, encouragements, and good wishes
yesterday.
After got home, I sheepishly told Min what happened. Initially, he was so
kind and concerned about my wellbeing (wounds) more than anything else.
However, late on, he gave me a long lecture and withdrew his support for me
to get into sprint triathlon training. I was scarred by the fall, too, and
agreed with his “punishment”. So much so about my sprint triathlon
aspiration. After all, it was a dream:-(((.
I did return to the spot where I fell and stepped on it twice without fall:-
))). I also stomp on the spot a couple of more times to even it out:-))).
However, the retaliation hasn’t taken away the pain and suffering. Upon
yesterday, I had been fortunate without injuries during three years of
marathon adventures. Now, I got small tastes of suffering. Will this
experience put me down or make me stronger? Only time can tell. | R*****t

I was very happy to be able to run 7X800m with my running friends yesterday
evening. This was my 2nd run since the accident 19 days ago. The wound on
the left knee still causes pain during running, but tolerable. The wound on
the right knee has completely healed. Min has been very impressed by my
self-control not to go back running too soon. I am surprised by my own
patience, too:-))). Even though I am not in condition to race this Sunday,
I’ll run the 25K for fun and make the best out of it since this will be my
1st 25K race. | R*****t
发帖数: 2115 | 3 III. The 25K Race (11-16-2014)
Even though I have run three marathons, three 30K races, two half marathons,
one 26.2K, the 25K race in this morning was my first. After the accident
on Oct 25, I only ran three times in past three weeks. I thought about
giving up this race many times, even during last night. I am glad that I
didn’t. The course was a little more challenging than what I thought to be
. I struggled a little near to the end, but did it fine with 7:43/mile pace
, finished it under 2 hours as the 2nd place of my age group (female 50-54).
Huge Thanks to my Min for his support, including taking those photos.
Special Thanks go to Coach Scott and Dr. Scott who came out to cheer for us.

运动量够了。不过想过把瘾，来一个三项比赛也行。

发帖数: 2115 | 5 谢谢恭喜、提醒、分享和鼓励。在路上骑车的安全也是我女儿和女婿担心的主要原因。
我是一朝被蛇咬、十年怕草绳：-（（（。3周前跑步fall后的经历使我目前还没有继续
玩三项的宏愿。等到好了伤疤忘了疼时再说吧：-）））。敬佩你、花花、变变以及所
有三项运动的跑友们。

发帖数: 2115 | 12 谢谢鼓励！！我从小就被我父母养得胖乎乎、结结实实。摔跤后第2周，我母亲和弟弟
来到美国参加一位亲人的喜事。他们只待一个星期，我就请假陪伴母亲和弟弟一个星期
。除了带他们外出到不同风味的餐馆用餐，母亲还在家做了许多我儿时就一直喜欢的食
品。这个星期六给母亲打电话，告诉她我摔跤后休息3周，体重增加了接近4磅，觉得妈
妈做的好吃食品贡献很大。母亲在电话中得意地哈哈大笑：-）））。

下面是Taper的新方法：陪伴从中国来探亲一周的高龄老母亲在外面餐馆海吃：-）））
。当服务生得知我母亲刚从中国来，并且只待一周时，他就给她戴上了牛仔帽和牛仔围
巾：-）））。那些牛排对跑步很给力：-）））。
Ps.本想将跑步摔跤的事瞒着我母亲，但是上嘴唇的伤暴露了。幸好老人家是退休医生
，检查了我膝盖、手背、和手上的伤后，母亲没有要求我放弃跑步，只是嘱咐了我要注
意安全。祝你和跑友们跑步平安愉快！
