我這樣參與慶祝夏季奧運會 （My Own Summer Olympics ） 2

“Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, “Wow what a ride!”
                                                                    ― Hunter S. Thompson

 

 

上周日跑了第二周的第二個半馬，在另一個湖邊公園，那天天氣比平常涼快些，競技狀態很好，破了自己的三個記錄，歐耶！～～

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

又見枯樹

 

 

 

     【枯樹】

 

     文/天玉之

 

你站在那裏，一聲不響
沒有一片綠葉
灰白挺拔的軀幹
支撐著不卑不亢

 

 

風已不再向你吹來
陽光也繞開，撒向蔥鬱
可你依然站立著
直到化為腐朽，為塵

 

 

是風帶走了你婆娑的愛情
還是心碎於一隻大雁的承諾？
月華如水的夜晚
你是否心如刀割，如我？

 

 

我情不自禁地走過去，環抱你
把頭貼在你身上
突然，我聽到樹根沙沙生長
生命轟隆而來，如三月的雷聲

我跑步時常會遇到幾棵枯樹，讓我心疼，深思，
那天在陽光下它們顯得格外美，就寫了這首詩。
願世間所有似乎死亡的枯樹都有再生的希望。

 

 

This area always reminds me of the landscape painings by my favorite Russian "mood landscape" master Issacc Levitan. It is unfortunate that the smoke from California veils its full beauty today. I like landscape paintings. Being outdoor running a lot, I have a lot of images in my head. I would like to paint them one day when I have time. Here are a few Levitan's work:

 

 

 

 

This is an example of a "bad marathon running shirt".  A normal shirt wouldn't have left marks like this. I chose it to match my shorts and didn't know it would be like this, a little embarrassing. Anyway, it shows how much one can sweat during a marathon ～
 

 

After race stretching is a must do while the muscles are still warm. Cold stretching is prone to cause injury. I usually find a bench or bridge fence or a low hanging tree branch to do the stretching. I make sure I give a good stretch on quads, hamstrings, achilles tendons, IT bands, and neck.

 

 

It reminds me of this painting by Livitan

 

 

 

期待著跑第三周的第三個半馬拉鬆，也是這次挑戰的最後一個。天氣預報會比較悶熱，八九十度，不預期會創新紀錄，完成就是勝利 ～

 

 

 

放首好聽的鋼琴曲，就當是我彈的，晚安，甜夢 ～
