It took me seven and a half years to complete 20,000 kilometers.
When I finished my run yesterday, I looked at the stats and I was only nine kilometers away, and I was running 20,000 kilometers.
I have been looking forward to this goal for a long time. However, I have a hosting task this morning, so let's go and host first, and then squeeze in time.
The presiding work was successfully completed.
I thought to myself, today is the last day of 2023, and if I don't complete the remaining nine kilometers at this point in time, I will have to bring the task of running 20,000 kilometers into 2024!
So how's that going to work?I'm going to run 20,000 kilometers today anyway!I told myself.
So, after finishing the work at hand and having lunch, I hurried home to change into sportswear and sneakers, ran into the cold, and ran on the road.
It took me 57 minutes and I ran 9 kilometers.
The goal of 20,000 km, on the afternoon of December 31, 2023, I finally achieved it!
As of today, in seven and a half years, I have run 2,411 times, spent 2,338 hours and 19 minutes, and completed 20,000 kilometers.
Combined with the 20,000 kilometers that have already been completed, if I were to achieve my goal of 60,000 kilometers (equivalent to one and a half laps around the Earth's equator), I would have completed one-third of the total mission. There are still 40,000 kilometers to go, and I have to keep working hard.
Some people may laugh at me, but I also know that the runner I know runs more than 5,000 kilometers a year, and according to this calculation, 40,000 kilometers, he can run it in about eight years. Based on my current running volume, it will take about 12 years to complete.
But I thought, first, I will never stop, and second, I will not be discouraged, and I will keep moving forward at my own pace and rhythm.
I thought that if I had been more stupid and lazy, I would have doubled the time it would take me to cover the remaining 40,000 kilometers, and I would have been able to accomplish this goal in twenty-four years.
And I, willing to use it for so long, run so far, and be willing to put in this effort!
Actually, I started running because I was dissatisfied with my weight and worried that my body would continue to lose shape.
Seven and a half years ago, I was less than 1.7 meters tall, but I weighed 154 pounds
In addition to being fat, I also suffer from severe rhinitis (nasal speech, not able to smell pungent smells), and severe snoring at night.
Fortunately, other indicators, such as blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar, etc., are still normal.
After running nearly 20,000 kilometers, I lost 20 pounds.
I don't know when the rhinitis that bothers me will get better, and I can smell it.
My family said that I could barely hear my snoring at night.
In addition, my sleep quality, external appearance, and mental outlook have improved dramatically.
After 20,000 kilometers of movement, I finally met a better version of myself!
For more than seven years, I've been almost rain or shine.
During the busy day, I get up at four o'clock in the morning and go out for a runIf I can't find time in the morning, I arrange to go out for a run after dinner and digest for a while.
If there is a party in the evening, I will choose to go after running in the afternoon.
It was raining outside, and I braved the heavy rain, running in the rain with an umbrella, wading through the water;It snowed in winter, and I was running on the road against the cold wind and snowflakes.
In this way, day after day, year after year, I ran through seven cold summers and seven winters and summers.
The mileage of 20,000 kilometers has tempered my will, enhanced my physical endurance, and allowed me to overcome my laziness, and cultivate my perseverance and character to move forward bravely despite difficulties.
Tomorrow is New Year's Day 2024, and the new year is about to begin.
Some people say that how you live a day, how you live a month, how you spend a month, how you live a year, and you can live a good life every year!
I know very well that on the road ahead, there are thorns, bumps, tests, wind and rain, dangerous shoals, and there are still 40,000 kilometers or more to wait for me to measure and trek!
However, with the hard work of the past seven and a half years as the foundation, and the 20,000 kilometers that have been completed, I believe that I have already made a bamboo in my chest, and I have long mustered up courage and strength!
The road ahead is long, I have already packed my bags, so let's go together towards 2024 and towards a farther goal!
