A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined 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 informed me that I was“ not athletic”.
The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. 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 and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
马拉松的前一天晚上，我竟然找不到终点。醒来后我浑身是汗精神紧张。不过，我准备使自己有所改进。
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带)became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted！
跨出起跑线不久，我的鞋带开了，于是我停下来重新系好。我要的开始不是这样的。
At mile3, I passed a sign:“ GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
在3英里处，我经过一面标牌，上面写着“运动员加油！”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
跑到17英里，我开始喘不上气，曾经受伤的脚踝疼得厉害。尽管有伤痛，我坚持留在跑道上，走一会接着跑。
By mile 21, I was starving！
跑到21英里，我饿坏了！
As I approached 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 guy who came in first place had.

My first Marathon
我的第一次马拉松
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
在我初次跑马拉松的前一个月，我的一侧脚踝受伤了，这意味着我两周不能跑步，只剩下的训练时间只有两周。然而，我决定继续下去。
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 informed me that I was“ not athletic”.
我回想起自己在学校的7年时光。第一次上体育课，老师要我们跑圈，然后打垒球。我做的都不好。事后老师说我不适合体育运动。
The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!
我不适合体育运动这个概念困扰了我很多年。三十岁后开始跑步时，我认识到跑步是战胜自我，与比赛或者我是否适合体育运动无关。跑步是对自己身心的一场战斗，是对意志的考验。
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
马拉松的前一天晚上，我竟然找不到终点。醒来后我浑身是汗精神紧张。不过，我准备使自己有所改进。
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带)became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted！
跨出起跑线不久，我的鞋带开了，于是我停下来重新系好。我要的开始不是这样的。
At mile3, I passed a sign:“ GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
在3英里处，我经过一面标牌，上面写着“运动员加油！”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
跑到17英里，我开始喘不上气，曾经受伤的脚踝疼得厉害。尽管有伤痛，我坚持留在跑道上，走一会接着跑。
By mile 21, I was starving！
跑到21英里，我饿坏了！
As I approached 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.
当我接近23英里时，看到妻子挥动着一块标牌。她是我的最狂热的仰慕者。她从不在乎闹钟在凌晨4点响起，或者质询我跑步的开销。
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 guy who came in first place had.
我是最后通过终点的人之一。但是我跑完了全程。我获得了一枚奖牌。其实，我得到的奖牌和第一个跑到终点的人的奖牌是一样的。
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签)， I can now call myself a "marathon winner”.
决心做好我自己，前进，没有羞耻感和世俗标签，我可以称自己为“马拉松优胜者”。
17英里时，我跑的上气不接下气，受伤的脚踝疼得厉害，尽管如此，我走一会儿、跑一会儿地又坚持了21英里，真是又累又饿。当我快到23英里的时候，我看到我的妻子挥舞着一个大牌子。她是我最大的粉丝。她从不在意闹钟在凌晨4点响起，也从不质疑我在跑步上的花销。尽管我属于最后一批到达终点的人，但是我跑完了全程，并得到了一枚奖章，和冠一模一样的奖章。不要在乎世俗的定义，坚定信念做自己世界的“马拉松冠军”。
