This hundred days, not "unknowingly", that is pinching the number of days, eye brush the number of steps to get through, which every day every step every drop of sweat are engraved in the memory.
I am not a strong-willed person, to say that I can insist on running for a hundred days, but it is really a miracle, in the past half of my life, this is probably the least favorite thing that I insisted on doing. Why do I have to keep going?
The most direct motivation is health-related. As I get older, there is a kind of uncontrolled panic about the body's dramatically accelerated aging and blossoming, and every time I ride an electric bike on the street, I look at the not-so-old old people hobbling past, the old people in wheelchairs, and it's as if I see my own shadow of tomorrow. No way! I must not let myself become that kind of person! The only way to save myself is to save myself, and running is probably the easiest and most direct way to do it. In order not to let my old age get the best of me, I must start now and take action! Although I have lost no more than two pounds in the past three months, the energy and physical ease that this running has brought me has convinced me that as long as I keep running, I will definitely make a difference.
Challenging something that I don't like but is beneficial is something I think is cool. Life is short, do what you love! This is the ideal life that everyone wants to pursue. But the ideal is very beautiful, the reality is always so bone. How many people are lucky enough to be able to do what they love all the time? It is true that if you are lucky enough to be able to do what you like, you will be more willing to put in the effort to achieve success, and it will be easier to achieve success; however, if we have to face the things that we do not like so much, running away is not a solution, if we can face it positively, maybe it will be done well, and maybe we will even fall in love with it! So, this persistent running makes me feel more accomplished than going to my favorite square dance every day, and I also believe that this running will bring me unlimited motivation, so that I have the ability to face more helpless and boring things.
Since this is something that has to be done for me, I have to find a way to make the process lovable. When I first started running, I especially like to run with my running partner, listening to the rhythmic footsteps of the running partner around me, I was embarrassed to stop, and the two of them sharpened each other to move forward, and survived the most difficult time at the beginning of that, of course, runners are lonely, high-intensity sports are unable to interact with each other, and run with the whole process of non-interaction. Later, the runners gradually withdrew, in order to transfer the feeling of physical fatigue during the running process, I tried to listen to music, listening to speeches, listening to books, a hundred days of running, I listened to dozens of speeches, listened to a series of lectures, "five hundred years of Wang Yangming", this completely belongs to my time has become let me look forward to, because of the solitude, listening to the book, like, weakened the discomfort caused by running. The love of solitude and listening to books undermined the discomfort and rejection of running.
Of course, this is still just a curve ball, and I'm still far from enjoying and liking running itself. The state of running is sometimes good and sometimes bad, when the state is poor, just let yourself walk slowly, an hour can not walk a lot, the kind of running more and more relaxed time is not to be found. I am still at the stage of cultivating my interest in running, I don't have any inner requirements, I just let myself accept it, and the effect of such a natural state is of course limited. This next second hundred days, perhaps, I can have some requirements on myself, run faster!
In fact, life is not a long-distance running. The first time I saw this, it was a long-distance run. Whether we like it or not, we always have to go through, to experience, first of all, we have to find out its sense of meaning in order to get the driving force to persist, but the bitter, whining mentality is not far away, but also have to find ways to find joy in the bitter, find ways to make themselves love it, really go a long way must be to embrace it, control it.
