My First Marathon

　　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 !

　　我的第一次馬拉松

　　去年，男友建議我參加倫敦馬拉松賽。 當時我笑了，他也笑了，可他的笑聲太長也太大，讓我陷入沉思。我意識到他不相信我做得到。這使我很生氣，也讓我下定決心參賽�，F(xiàn)在，他終于知道了我能行!

　　訓練并非易事，但我堅持不懈。我并不需要特殊訓練，但我卻需要買一雙好鞋。每天我都努力多跑一些。三個月后，我已能每周跑五天。有時在傍晚時分，我跑上10公里；星期天早上，有時能跑上30公里左右。

　　倫敦馬拉松賽那天，我和大約三萬名運動員站在一起。開始的10公里，我心情愉快，兩腿輕松。在30公里標志處，我已疲憊不堪，很想停下來，但我還是堅持跑著。

　　到達35公里標志處，我知道離終點已經(jīng)不遠。不知怎么，信心讓我越來越輕松，跑得越來越快。當繞過最后一個彎道時，我看到了終點線，看到了還有三個人跑在我前面。于是我作了最后沖刺，超過了他們，在四小時內(nèi)完成了比賽。第一名的成績是2小時10分，但這無關(guān)緊要。我畢竟跑完了42公里的全程，完成了我的第一次馬拉松!
