【Half Marathon】20161211 曾文水庫馬拉松

2016 34th ZengWen Reservoir Marathon

這是我的第三場路跑，也是第一次賽前利用跑步機增加跑量的賽事，報名時其實非常非常興奮接受跑山林的挑戰，因為我真的很愛雲霧繚繞，蓊鬱一片的大自然，但聽到去程將近7公里會是緩緩上坡到大壩，接著也是幾個更陡的上坡到折返點，我就又開始緊張了，因為我也沒有跑過山路啊，更別說陡坡了。不過換個角度想，後半段將會以下坡為主，回程應該會輕鬆許多。

的確，大部分的回程是輕鬆的。

當你又看到大壩，欣賞不同於去程日出不久時的煙波浩渺，回程是暖陽照耀的湖光粼粼，徜跑在這片山林水色真的是人生享受。

只是，最後的難關便是進入終點的陡上破，是全程最陡的上坡，自己覺得應該有200公尺。至此已經沒力到失去進終點要帥的原則，幸好入終點前是平坦的，我還是逼自己衝刺帥一波。

★ ★ ★ ★ ★  路跑就是訓練自己堅定到終點的信念， 不單只是練腿，而是練心。

Just start it and finish it. I think everything you dream is based on this passionate belief.

            If you dwell in Tainan and you like to run along the picturesque lake，you can't miss the ZengWen Reservoir Marathon.  What makes it well-known is not only     the amazing landscape of ZengWen Reservoir, but also the long gentle slopes you have to overcome. When I knew that there was a 12 kilometers roughly slope for   departure，I started to get extremely nervous because  I'd never run mountain path, much less running uphill.  I still took a more optimistic view since  it meant that I would run downhill easily when returning.  Indeed, it was easy for the runners in most part of returning.  However, the most uphill challenage was the steep slope heading to finishing line.  I guessed it would be 200 meters at least.

  " 2 minutes later, it would be finished，" I told myself. 

   I had to finished the race with dashing spirit so I tried my best to rush through the finishing line. Finally, I was highly excited that I not only finished my third half marathon but I got a not bad group ranking. Number 10 in group ranking came as a surprise to me and that did motivate me to sign up for next marathon.

【Super Half Marathon】

2016 the 7th Kaohsiung MIZUNO International Marathon    2016高雄MIZUNO國際馬拉松

2016年第七屆的高雄美津濃國際馬拉松活動是我的第一場超半馬，在這之前我甚至連短程的10公里路跑沒有嘗試過，因為臨時被男朋友推坑而硬著頭皮挑戰了。

首次參加路跑就是25公里，得知消息的父母和朋友們都覺得我瘋了嗎?  因為讀大學的緣故，在高雄待了五年，即便跑過的地方都是我熟悉的風景，但是起跑前我開始懷疑自己真能完成嗎?

鳴槍後跑過漢神巨蛋、美麗島捷運站、愛河、蓮池潭，最後回到高雄世運主場館，伴著現場人群的歡呼聲衝過終點線。

過程中我努力克服在大太陽下曝曬的痛苦和隱隱痠痛的雙腿和腳底，雙手也努力地像機械般擺動前進。我終於完成了一場路跑，原來這就是路跑，其實沒有想像中困難。

這激起了我的好勝心，我想拿個獎盃。自此，我開始增加跑量，自己訓練。

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 不要畏懼挑戰自己的極限，因為這會讓我更強大；限制自我極限會讓自己總是跨不出舒適圈。

 I ran my first ever super half marathon, the 7th Kaohsiung MIZUNO International Marathon, in 2016 and it was an amazing experience

that I've never ever thought I could do it. When my friends and my parents knew that I would be running for 25 kilometers,  they all said, " Are you kidding? Are you crazy?"，

because I did not participate any running activity before and I also didn't take regular running trainings.

I said," Don't worry. I will take care myself."  

Hearing the noise of countdown, I started to have a bee in my bonnet. 

" Am I really able to finish this race? "   

" Hey, take it easy. It isn't the very long runs just covering 25 kilometers," said my boyfriend, Bowen. 

 We ran through the  Hanshin Arena Shopping Plaza,  the Formosa Boulevar, the Love River,  the  Lianchihtan and back to the  National Stadium

crossing the finish line with great cheer from the crowd. Despite that there are many suffering  of running in hot day and nagging pain in my legs and foot,

I still tried hard to conquer all the neggative thinkings and uncomfortable feelings.  Finishing the 7th Kaohsiung MIZUNO International Super Marathon which I've never thought that aroused my ambition to get trophy one day.  Dare to challenge your limit makes you stronger; neverless, limit your challenge makes you  always live in the comfort zone.

I lost my Record Certificate ...
