On this earthly stage, it feels like I have to step aside. However, this morning I opened the computer to see a news:
"Grandma I'm not old yet"! Japan's 61-year-old woman "breaks 3" in a full horse to set a world record
I was attracted by the title and quickly opened it to read it.
Mariko Bow Sharita, a 61-year-old woman from Saitama, Japan, managed to break 3 at the Shimonoseki Kaikyo Marathon in Japan on November 3, running a time of 2:59:15. With this time, she became the first woman over the age of 60 in the world to run a full-marathon in 3 hours.
I've been bad at sports since I was a kid, and I rarely pay attention to news about sports, and I feel really negative about myself today after reading this.
The daily running exercise after two classes in school is sometimes lazy to run, and I feel that I have to pay attention to my old arms and legs as I get older. I also heard that human bones have a service life and can not be overused. People live seventy years old, the elderly gave me the impression that: hunched over, old eyes, walking feet rubbing the ground, slow. Often in the neighborhood to see a group of elderly people moving a small horse, leaning against the wall to chat and sunbathe. More often than not, I see an old man sitting alone at the base of the wall like a statue, squinting and bowing his head. I really don't want to, the days after retirement and those old people's lives are the same.
61-year-old grandmother feels not old, there is a grandmother is even more impressed
71-year-old Asian American grandmother Jeannie Rice (Jeannie Rice). Jeannie Rice broke the age-group world record at the recent Akron Half Marathon in Ohio, USA. She ran 13.1 miles (about 21.08 kilometers) at an average pace of 7 minutes and 25 seconds per mile, and she clocked a time of 1 hour, 37 minutes and 01 seconds, breaking the age-group world record of 1 hour, 37 minutes and 38 seconds for the over-70 age group, which was run by Australian Lavinia Petrie in 2014.
The new world record proves that "gender will not be a limitation, nor will age."
I can confirm that they are both confident people who did not give themselves the conclusion that I am old and I can't do this kind of thing because of their age. Not only do they have confidence in themselves, but also perseverance and persistence. After she retired, Mariko taught at a school and trained with her high school's track and field team. In the team of high school students, who were her grandchildren, Mariko ran with the vigor of "defying old age" and outperformed the students. She also uses many ways to keep her body in shape, even when brushing her teeth, she will stand on an inclined board and use her body weight to stretch.
Success never comes overnight, and Rice, 71, has succeeded through perseverance. Just look at all the medals and you'll see how much hard work and sweat she put in.
I am much younger than them, they say they are not old, why do I think they are old, do not do anything?
Mindset is really important, and it can determine the direction of your behavior. Recently in the small volcano to see a 74-year-old Beihai grandfather, his popularity is very strong, he said: I am Yang Beihai, a serious life of young people. Really envy him, life is exquisite, successful career. Is a lot of young people are not as good as.
The grandparents who live downstairs from me did nothing eighteen years ago, and their son was able to make money and took them to the city. They don't farm, they don't work, they just grow some vegetables in the flower beds downstairs, and now they're in their seventies, and they're not even very well. I wonder if this is the traditional concept of enjoying happiness? In fact, the vast majority of people are ordinary, but this kind of stay every day is happy?
I don't want to retire in the future, dancing in the square, rushing into the supermarket to grab the special offer, I also want to live out their wonderful life. Although it is already not confusing, still bummed out, but the future of the day can not have no dream.
You can't be successful, but you can't afford not to work hard. Sixty or seventy years old, can still break the record of marathon running, I am still younger than them, why do you look down on yourself, give up your own pursuit, self-satisfied failure? As a Jane friend I recently followed on said: writing is it.
Well, the sun is shining outside. I hope that when I'm in my seventies, I can also: old steed in a thousand miles.
Well, it's sunny out there.
