The QingYuan Marathon race dated Mar.17th, 2019

Last month, I had the two-day traveling in QingYuan city for attending a Marathon race. This trip will be my unforgettable experience…

I loved doing exercise for several years, especially jogging. Two years ago, I started to attend the Marathon races, I enjoyed the process with thousands of people jogging together. Unfortunately, my left leg was broken last January due to my carelessness. Nearly one month, I couldn’t walk as usual due to my left leg’s plaster. In  2018, I couldn’t jog until last November. But I only kept on a slow speed to jog, otherwise, my left leg knee would ache. Last year, to keep my weight, I only relied on walk and controlling my food every day.

Last December, I signed up the Marathon race of QingYuan of 2019, which was held in March. I thought that my left leg could recover well and I could finish the race smoothly. Unluckily, I fell again on the way to my house from the church. In the following two months, I couldn’t go jogging again. As long as I went jogging for an hour, I felt my left leg’s knee ache. Before the race about one week, I considered whether I should give up the race. Frankly, I wanted to go to there for travelling, since I had applied to attend the race and booked the hotel. And I also desired I could finish the race within three hours no matter how slow  my speed was. To realize my wish, I asked all Christians sisters and brothers praying for my race. I decided to try to practice jogging before the race for a week. However, I just only covered nine kilometers for jogging, my left leg ached for several days. In the following three days, because my door key was broken, I could not go jogging in mornings.

That Saturday, I must depart for QingYuan with a friend, because the race would be held on the Sunday. I was lucky that the travel was smooth due to my friend’s care. About the friend, he loves attending the Marathon races. So far, he has attended the race for more than twenty times in other cities and he was a very careful and gave me many important warning about the race including eating food before the race, sleeping quality, the time of getting up, cutting my toe nails and so on. To be frank, I’ve never met such a careful man like him. I learned many positive energy from him.

That day, he bought a QingYuan chicken from the market and brought me to eat together by bus about thirty minutes from his hotel. The chicken’s taste was very delicious. I was very moved for his care act. Though I ate less meat during my daily life, the chicken was eaten more by me due to its taste and his kindness. Importantly, he bought the chicken not because of some advertisement, but only his sharp insight. Because the local people ranked to buy the chicken, he knew that the taste should be good. From his opinions, I also agreed his thoughts. From his life details, though he has a highly educated and good salary, he pursued the actual benefits. In my eyes, he is an excelling young man. I also believe his future will be bright.

On the race day, I had been praying for my race that I desired God could bless me finishing the race. I worried about my left leg. During the race, I kept on jogging one miles seven minutes to cover 21.095kilometers. I was glad to finish the race smoothly. In my mind, the result was from the Lord’s blessing. I couldn’t stop crying out to God for each step of the race… I always praised the God after the race ended. The race also gave me some warnings. For example, the breakfast shouldn’t be eaten too early. That morning, I ate the breakfast two hours in advance, I felt very hungry when I started to jog. After I ate some bread at the place of twelve kilometers, I recovered my energy to finish the rest of distance easy.

In addition, in the race, I knew a new friend from Guangzhou. I also expect we can meet again in the future Marathon race.

In the second half of 2019, I will sign up two Marathon races in the surrounding Huizhou city. Through the Marathon race, not only let me relieve my life or working stress, but also I can gain an eye-opening experience…
