This winter has more rain and snow than usual, which is both an opportunity and a test for those who like to run. Soon after the beginning of winter, God gave people a dismount, from north to south of the cold snap, to us in northern Jiangsu has not seen the cold weather for many years, the temperature dropped to minus nine degrees. I was not afraid and still ran a half marathon as planned. When running, there is a mixture of bitterness and joy, including the piercing pain of the exposed hands, face, and ears brought by the cold wind, the relaxation and happiness brought by the opening of the body due to running, and the sense of accomplishment of running half a marathon in the cold for a 66-year-old man. I regret a little that since the severe cold in the early winter, the weather has not been cold for a month after the winter solstice, and my winter running road has been unexpectedly smooth. In preparation for the all-marathon race to be held in Huai'an in early April, I intensified my training, and the number of runs in January increased dramatically from 200 km to 240 km. This progress has given me a lot of confidence, and I am full of anticipation for the upcoming Huai Ma Race.
There has been a lot of snow in the past two days. Fortunately, because I ran 16km every other day, I took advantage of the rain and snow to complete my training task as scheduled.
Today it was the turn of the 16km run. I looked at the weather report and it was snowing most of the day. Today's online weather reports are good, and you can finely ** when it rains and snows, and when it stops. I carefully checked the exact time of the snow, and it was around 9 o'clock. I woke up at 6 o'clock, finished the routine things that should be done after waking up, I drank a cup of protein powder, ate a dozen peanuts and a piece of Bazhen cake, took a short rest, and then started to stretch before each run, and went out on time at 7:30. The weather forecast showed that the outdoor temperature was minus 2 degrees, probably because the wind was not strong, I didn't feel cold at all, and the 10-kilometer run was easier than usual, and the running results reported by the "Gudong" sports software were much better than the previous ones. Just when I was secretly glad that I was about to run another good result today, snowflakes fell in the sky. When I run, I like to listen to the "Voice of China" news in the "Cloud Listening" software on my mobile phone**, where there is a half-hour time advertisement, according to which I speculate that the snow fell a quarter of an hour earlier than the weather forecast. When the snow starts to fall, it doesn't rain much, so it doesn't affect the running. Soon, the snow became denser and the snowflakes were much larger than before. Still, I didn't stop. After running another two kilometers, the snowflakes fluttered all over the sky like countless fine goose feathers flying in the air. At this time, there are still two kilometers left to complete the planned 16 kilometers. I hesitated between running and not running. My instinct told me that as long as there was no heavy snow on the ground and I didn't get fallen, I should be able to finish the two kilometers. My idea was to run in rhythm without stopping my legs. After receiving this instruction, I ignored the heavy snow above my head, but still ran forward with solid steps as before. The dancing snowflakes in front of my eyes flew to my cheeks, brains and head from time to time, and sometimes, they also hit my eyes. Ignoring it, I ran forward tenaciously and happily. Occasionally, I would look up at the snowflakes in the air, and I felt that they were not only beautiful, but also generous, covering the earth in silver, and giving joy and pride to the runners. I, a person who is about to run to seven, the snow did not frighten me, I am like a lonely eagle, flying in the world of white flowers, the white earth, there is not a passerby, only my empty legs, galloping figure ......I couldn't help but say to myself, you are the best, aging and the diseases caused by aging will not be my opponent, as long as I can move my legs and run forward, I will keep running, running.
Eight. Ten or ninety years old, I believe that if I can run to the age of ninety, live to be one hundred years old, and write ** to the age of one hundred, this life is destined not to be mediocre.
When I got home, stretched, took a shower, lay on the sofa, drank hot tea, and listened to **, my mood was super refreshing. I was not afraid of the heavy snow just now, and the pride brought by running a full five kilometers in the ice and snow rose again in my heart. I can't help but think that after more than four years of long-distance running, I have not only accumulated 6,000 kilometers of running, but also run 30 and a half marathons, once a full marathon, in all seasons of the year, in addition to the pleasant climate in spring and autumn, I insist on running non-stop, even the extremely cold winter, the scorching summer has not made me give up the dream of long-distance running to 90 years old. At noon when the sun was in the sky, I ran through the poisonous sun; The ground temperature was over 40 degrees Celsius, my heart rate reached 190 beats, and I still didn't stop running. In the freezing winter, I was not afraid of the cold, the cold of nearly minus 10 degrees, and the bitter northwest wind could not slow down my running speed. As for spring and autumn, I braved the rain countless times to travel on the familiar track, just like today, running in the snow. This scene, like a rolling film, kept flashing before my eyes. A huge, indescribable sense of pride and happiness once again rose in my heart, accompanied by a clear voice: long-distance running will definitely make your extraordinary life, bring you health, happiness, longevity and career success!
