47 years old, life is already sunset red, should be accompanied by the food market, square dance, but I still live out the 18-year-old state.
Age is just a number, not old only mentality, heart to the sun always 18, you say?
The secret to keeping yourself young is ~ interest.
Interests can keep a person's curiosity to explore unknown areas, inspire more positive and happy emotions, and make a dull life interesting.
Only by maintaining interest in life, learning with a positive mindset, exploring, and constantly tossing yourself around and accepting challenges can you keep a heart that is always young.
I remember when I first started running four years ago, my child was in puberty, very rebellious, his academic performance fell to pieces, and the house was filled with restlessness.
Finally, one day, in order to escape from the home of a chicken feather, I put on running shoes, rushed out of the house. The run calmed me down, and when I got home I took a shower and went to bed.
I woke up the next morning to find my child washed and cleaned and my husband had made breakfast. At the table, the child handed him a study plan, the husband only smiled, looked up to see the child's sincere look, looked out the window of the sun, my heart was melted instantly!
From that day on I began to run, and soon took part in the City Wall Marathon ~ although only 13.7 kilometers, unexpectedly ran ninth.
This gave me great encouragement, and while the iron was hot I signed up for the Yangling Marathon Half, and when I signed up I told my kids, "Mommy must give you this marathon medal."
The half marathon (21.095 kilometers), for me, is an unattainable dream.
Since I want to be a role model for my children, I must grit my teeth and keep going. Of course I was still rational, I started to look up information about marathon races, made a training plan, and then it was time to execute.
I was also lucky enough to run my first marathon in 1 hour and 57 minutes, which was already a popular elite run in those days.
The day before the race was my son's birthday, so I wrote a letter to him and posted it in the running news. Unexpectedly ~ the next day almost all the websites are forwarding, Xinhua, Netease, Sohu, headlines, etc..
Because of that letter, because of my son, my story is fortunate to be known by everyone, and overnight became a netizen in everyone's eyes.
In order to drive more moms and friends who want to decompress through running, I keep running, working out, reading, learning, and sharing in time to drive my friends around me to run.
This year, I successfully drove my husband, son, sister and brother-in-law to complete their first marathon.
In the future, I will continue to share and drive more friends to run, and make running a lifelong hobby.
Through running, I have become cheerful, confident, good at sharing, know how to learn, not satisfied with the status quo, and strive to toss my limited life into a different color.
I used to be a very greasy (165 pounds when I was the fattest) cranky, irritable, unmotivated, unambitious, short of parents, ratty, and mother-in-law relationship is very stiff, all day only know how to dress up and dress down, the soul of the empty woman.
I have met a large number of excellent partners through running, the elite in all walks of life, everyone is so good and hard work, I still have what reason not to change.
A woman must have ~ raised in the face of self-confidence, long in the heart of the goodness, melt into the blood of the backbone, carved into the life of the strong!
I am about to enter the 50-year-old me, more a calm, less a obsession. No longer for the sake of vanity and participate in meaningless socializing. This kind of meaningless socializing will only make myself more and more impatient, anxious and unconfident. Instead of spending a lot of time socializing, don't try to improve yourself.
I know better than to have time to read more, spend time with my family, make my life colorful, cultivate my body and mind, and waste time on myself.
