Running With Someone

I have one more thing that I had decided to do after my TOEIC test. It is running.

All of my families are good at marathon. We don't have reflexes so much. Marathon is the best sports which don't need reflexes. We have good record at marathon, but we are not good at other sports. Our common point is that we can have good record when we run longer distances. Marathon is one kind of the sports which fight against oneself's spirit, not against someone else, I think.

I had stopped running from before TOEIC test for studying. But I restarted running and I entered the marathon at July 10th.With my mother and friend. And I also entered in a local running team. Its purpose is just running together. It's organized by a sports shop. We run twice a month.

I ran first time in this team last week.
It was practice for half marathon.(I don't know its name is worldwide or not. Half marathon is about 21.1 km, full marathon is 42.195km,right??)
A professional runner ran as a pace maker at that time. And we ran with chatting and having fun. Running with chatting was hard for upper body, I thought, but it was easy for my legs. Because I got centered on chatting, I could forget that I ran for very long distances. ( Of course after that I was suffered by terrible muscular ache for about 2 days, but I like it because I can feel the growth of my muscle, hahaha.) So It was very good experience for me. I will remember modest pace of marathon at this team. And all of them were very cool!! They had nice muscle and beautiful legs although most of their ages are same range with my mom’s!!!  And their humanity was also nice!! I want to be like them, I thought.  I will enter in this running time as possible I can.

I was a player of the running club at my high school, but I didn't think I can run such a long distances at the first time. Actually, although I run about 3 times per a week after a TOEIC test, I was suffered for only 5 km when I ran alone. I thought that I became to not be able to run for a long time. But I could it, if it with someone. Running with someone is great if its person is a good runner.

AND!!!!

I decided my target that I will run at Honolulu full marathon at 40 years old!! I'll do it!!!

Thank you!! HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!
