last year, my boyfriend suggested that i should run the london marathon, and i laughed. he

laughed too, but he laughed too long and too loud. that made me think. i realized that he didn't believe that i could do it. that made me angry,and determined. now he knows that i can !

training wasn't easy, but i kept going. i didn't need special training but i did need to buy very good shoes. each day,i went a little further. by the end of three months, i was running five days a week. sometimes in the evenings i ran 10km;on sunday mornings, i sometimes ran about 30km.

on the day of the race in london, i lined up with about 30,000 other runners. for the first ]0km i felt very happy and my legs felt very comfortable. at the 30km mark, i felt exhausted, and wanted to stop, but i kept on going.

by the time i reached the 35km mark, i knew i was going to get to the end of the course. somehow that confidence made me feel lighter and faster. as i came round the last bend and saw the finishing line, i could see three runners ahead of me. i raced past all of them to finish the race in just under four hours. the winner had completed the race in 2 hours and 10 minutes, but i didn't care! i had run 42km and completed my first marathon !

我的第一次马拉松

去年，男友建议我参加伦敦马拉松赛。 当时我笑了，他也笑了，可他的笑声太长也太大，让我陷入沉思。我意识到他不相信我做得到。这使我很生气，也让我下定决心参赛。现在，他终于知道了我能行!

训练并非易事，但我坚持不懈。我并不需要特殊训练，但我却需要买一双好鞋。每天我都努力多跑一些。三个月后，我已能每周跑五天。有时在傍晚时分，我跑上10公里；星期天早上，有时能跑上30公里左右。

伦敦马拉松赛那天，我和大约三万名运动员站在一起。开始的10公里，我心情愉快，两腿轻松。在30公里标志处，我已疲惫不堪，很想停下来，但我还是坚持跑着。

到达35公里标志处，我知道离终点已经不远。不知怎么，信心让我越来越轻松，跑得越来越快。当绕过最后一个弯道时，我看到了终点线，看到了还有三个人跑在我前面。于是我作了最后冲刺，超过了他们，在四小时内完成了比赛。第一名的成绩是2小时10分，但这无关紧要。我毕竟跑完了42公里的全程，完成了我的第一次马拉松!
