Recently, he picked up the Running Bible again, and gradually understood it.
I never paid attention to the mileage constantly updated in the running software. I ran 5 kilometers inadvertently. In the past nine months of 216, I ran 85 times, from two or three kilometers at the beginning to more than ten kilometers now.
People are not a static species by nature. I must be the one who keeps moving. Before there is no software to record every running data, I will either run around the plastic track in fun run at school, run with my aunt in the nearby park after work, or run on the roads in other cities while on business.
Just like the reason why countless people love running, long-distance running doesn't need special equipment, special venues, and most importantly, it doesn't need companions. In a good mood or a bad mood, you can put on your running shoes and go out for a few laps in two minutes.
I can't stand the exercise on the treadmill in the gym. Only when I run outdoors, to mountains and water, to birds and flowers, to on the boulevard, to the edge of vibrant farmland, can I really feel that day is alive.
My first motivation for running was to lose weight, but later I found out that losing weight was just a legend without a certain amount of accumulation. Even so, I kept running intermittently. I think there is always one thing that I have to stick to anyway. The three minutes of enthusiasm when I was young often frustrated me.
I never knew that running would be addictive, and the more I ran, the more I wanted to run. Just after the first 5 kilometers, I had a hunch that I would keep running until my hair turned gray, every city I lived in, wherever I wanted to go, until I couldn't run and ran to the end of my life.
It's an amazing experience. As soon as you open your eyes every day, you only have one thought: running! Change the route at will or just repeat those familiar routes, so run aimlessly. I think I'm really fascinated, so now I have a holiday every day. I'm just planning a new running route: I'll go to Yuhu Village this month, Guanyin Gorge next month, and I'll run home from the train station for three or four hours if I come home from the holiday ... < P > It's like a game I'm playing alone. I'm a player and a referee myself, but I never get a result. Just finish it, no comparison, no competition and no goal. Running purely.
When the wind blows by you, the drizzle falls on your hair, and birds are singing one after another in the mountains, or you watch the green plants along the road change from new green in spring to dark green in summer, and from dark green in summer to yellow-green in autumn. And all this, you have never missed, you have never run for anything, but you will bring something every time.
In addition to these things inherent in nature, there are other things that come into your field of vision unexpectedly, such as a pious grandmother who always kneels in front of the park and keeps kowtowing and praying, a running teenager with long hair who passes by you from time to time, an aunt who always changes her props in a square dance frequently, and a white-haired grandfather who walks a bird in a secluded corner ......
Running all the way has actually made me know all about life. Give me something new every day to remind me bit by bit what he wants to tell me. I still don't quite understand it, but I will know it sooner or later, and maybe it is completely unnecessary to know it.
I often keep thinking when I am alone. What is life? What's the point? Sometimes I seem to find the answer, but sometimes it is so confusing.
When I just run, I see, hear and feel everything around me, and I also feel all the states of my body, sore, relaxed, excited and tired. When I'm running, there's nothing to disturb me in my work and life. It's just me and everything around me in the world. I am a free and unrestrained existence.
sometimes when I run with headphones on, I have an illusion, as if time has passed, and I feel like an 8-year-old soul is living in my body. Maybe when I'm 8 years old, I can at least tell myself: Look, I'm an energetic old lady!
Maybe that's the truth. The past events that we used to linger about so much have been scattered in time with the wind, so nothing lasts forever. Forget everything before the present, and no longer cherish or regret the past. What you can grasp is here and now. If you want to be happy, be happy now.
