克服困难坚持跑步四星812
Ro【文章梗概】因为不良的饮食习惯和生活习惯，我体重超重，但我并不想改变。在居家颓废生活的日子里，我偶然浏览到旧时的小伙伴胖子已瘦很多。第二天，在女友的鼓励下，我从改变饮食入手，到在小区周围散步和走路，再到定跑1/10公里的小目标。我在放弃和坚持间抉择，一点一滴的进步着。我终于在一周之内完成了既定目标，增强了运动的信心。
ck bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life. ~J.K. Rowling All my life, I have been overweight. Many factors have played into that simple fact. Poor eating habits and a picky appetite left me eating bulk amounts of the least nutritious foods. A larger interest in video games than sports left little desire for participating in school activities.
Mostly, it was the lack of desire to better mylf.
Losing my job made matters wor than they ever were as a kid. With plenty of money in my bank account, I decided to coast for a while. Why not enjoy the break? Naturally, my car decided to spring an oil leak a week later. Though still operable, it was in my best interest not to drive here and there.
This resulted in my already-deep depression getting even wor. I lounged around my apartment, barely moving. Having my own money meant I could have whatever I wanted for dinner. Often, I ended up ordering pizza. The calories racked up fast. Since I had no scale, I can only guess what the overall damage was.
The turning point came from an odd place. One night, scrolling through Facebook, I found a picture of an old school friend. Obesity was no stranger to him back in the day. Weighing well more than me, I imagined he would never change.
So imagine my surpri when I saw that he had shrunk to half the size I remembered.
I started my process of bettering mylf the next day. Getting groceries from the store was step one. Thanks to my girlfriend, my food palate had expanded ever so slightly. A $30 bill for somewhat healthier meals that lasted a week bested $20 deliveries every day. The next step — which I dreaded most — was exerci.
I started slow. Running was not on my agenda for a while. I began with walks around the neighborhood, circling the shortest block I could find. Even that was taxing at first. Don’t get me started on the proper regimen I went through next. Push-ups, lunges and squats, oh my!
My body ached, and nothing excited me more than the prospect of quitting. My girlfriend’s encouragement was my only deterrent.
Then, it happened. My walks eventually expanded to veral blocks’ worth. On the fifth day of my fitness binge, I stared far down the road, probably a tenth of a mile in length. That might sound short to some, but back then it might as well have been an ocean wide.
“Way too far to run,” I told mylf. The rare bursts beyond simple walking had lasted mere conds. But, in the back of my mind, another voice spoke.
It said, “I can do this.”
My feet took off without a cond thought. Right away, familiar burning puld through them, all the way up my legs. Passing parked cars and hous alike, a similar pain throbbed in my lungs. I was desperate for air. Silly me had forgotten my water at home. Nothing was going to help me but stopping. It would have been so simple to stop.
“I can do this,” I croaked aloud, sounding like a dying man.
My body disagreed. Less than halfway to the end of the street, I started wavering. Running turned to jogging, which turned to a halfhearted trot. It must have been quite a sight for the neighbors. I bet they thought the same thing I did: I should quit.
“I can do this,” I said instead.
Embellishment might ll this story a little sweeter, but I won’t lie. By the end, I came up a little short. Thirty feet or so divided me from my goal. I thought mylf a fool. Clearly, I was never going to make it. But when I looked back, I couldn’t believe my eyes. The distance emed farther then, after almost crossing it all. After months of doing nothing but sitting and eating, I had almost achieved my desire in less than a week.
I’d call it breathtaking, but you can blame the running on that.
Ignoring the agony,I walked home and performed my workout. I must have lain down for hours after my shower. Yet, throughout it all, my smile never faded. By morning, I was ready to take on the challenge again. And, to my surpri, I surpasd it. I blazed through the stop sign and rounded the corner, not halting until I returned to my apartment.
My physical and mental health improved hand-in-hand. The farther I pushed mylf, the better I felt. It’s been a month now. While I haven’t completely escaped thoughts of giving up, they’re quieter now. Quieter than the voice that urged me forward, a voice I scarcely recognized as my own.
“I can do this.”

Marathons are not for the faint of heart, nor the faint of lungs.You might think you’re up for it, but then your lungs will remind you halfway through that this might be too much.I have a ton of respect for people who do compete in them.Make sure you stretch a lot before you do one! This story though, is about someone who could have finished the race sooner but cho not to.
There are people who are well in-shape to run a marathon, and marines (海军陆战队士兵) are definitely some of tho people.Military training is some of the toughest out there.They’ll make you
do push up (俯卧撑) after push up, cour after cour, and they’ll make you do it regularly.A marine is thus well-prepared to run something like a marathon race.
Myles Kerr was a 19-year-old marine who joined in a 5-kilometre marathon.As the name implies, a 5-kilometre marathon is 5 kilometers of running you have to do.And 5 kilometers is a lot to run on foot.It is definitely not a distance you should attempt without a lot of preparation and training.Myles, t
