My First Marathon（马拉松）

A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles（脚踝）was hurt and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I decided to go ahead.

I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later told me that I was “not good it sports”.

The idea that I was “not good at sports” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle（斗争）against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was good at sports. 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（出汗）and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.

Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces（鞋带）became untied. So I stopped to he them. Not the start I wanted!

At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERE!”

By mile 17, I became out of breath and the ankle hurt badly. But I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.

As I came near mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She ever minded the clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned how much I spent on running.

I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got be same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had. Now I can call myself a marathon winner”.

My First Marathon (马拉松)

A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was hurt and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I decided to go ahead.

I remember back to my 7th year in school. After my first PE class, the teacher told me that I was "not athletic (运动型的)". The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a fight against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the fight against my own body and mind. A test of wills!

The night before my marathon, I dreamed that I couldn't even find the finish line.

I woke up, being helpless and nervous but ready to prove something to myself. Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe lace became untied. So I stopped to tie it. Not the start I wanted! I had been left behind others at the beginning.

At mile 3, I passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"

By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once-hurt-ankle hurt badly, but I still stayed the course, walking a bit and then running again.

As I came near to 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 person who came in first place had. I can now call myself a "marathon winner".
