What was I thinking while running the half-marathon?

This was my third half-marathon which occurred on occasion. I left the office at nearly eight o’clock and the temperature was rather cool which stirred my urge to run a half-marathon. I have borne so much working pressure recently and need to do something to release the pressure. Running a long way is always my first choice to relax my mind.

I was listening to English podcasts when I was running on the first half of the way and pulled off the earphones later just to emerge into the surroundings. A lot of working scenes flashed into my mind and flashed out and my mind was in a mess. But the more distant I ran, the less I thought about. A long run is like meditating for a long time which could clean and relax my confused and tighten mind.

Although I could finished one half-marathon but I’m very clear my weak legs couldn’t support such a long distance. I got injured on the last half-marathon and I was aware I should strengthen my leg muscles to share the burden of the ligaments but I didn’t. Strong leg muscles is the fundament of a long run. Given the recent working performance, I also didn’t do the fundamental work well but complained the work sometimes. It’s my fatal fault which could constrain my growing.

I focused too much on the quick buck instead of the long-term mind. I finished the half-marathon step by step and couldn’t save even one step. Working is like running a marathon. Just keep patient and work hard.
