My First Marathon(我的第一次马拉松)

       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!
