----There is always something new coming out of the journey

As much as I love my TX, the move to CA has been a blessing for me. Since I
moved here at the end of Feb. this year, I joined most of the BU group’s
weekend long run, most of which were in the range of 16-20miles. Running
also helps me to meet new friends, adjust to my new way of living, and
remind me not to lose hope.
The real training for this race starts at the end of Sep., after I took a 2-
week vacation in China w/o running. I would like to call this 10-week
training as a very good one! Before the race as I knew it would be downpour
and strong windy on the race morning, I told myself that I should be proud
of myself of the training and the results will not be that important. Some
highlights during this training s period:
1. I did a 24.4 mi for 3:55:05 w/ pace of 9:39, the first 10 miles were
running from my home to a race start and the left 13 miles were pacing a
friend of mine for a half marathon. There were 2 miles with pace about 8:30
which were done when I was in a rush to find her, and then I knew I could be
faster if I knew I am chasing someone.
2. I did a successful Marathon Pace run of 13/20. Thanks for Qian's
leading and Minya’s companion! It was not easy but I am very glad I
finished it.
3. I did a 23.1 mi for 3:21:33 w/ pace of 8:44. It was not planned but
after I found out my pace for this run, I got more confidence.
4. I could add 4-5 miles of MP run during my long run. Although it was
not easy to speed up at the beginning, sometimes I could run sub 8 for a few
miles.
5. My speed has been much improved. The first tune-up race was 8 miles
for 58:03 w/ pace of 7:16, the second one is 5.0 mi for 35:53 w/ pace of 7:
10 (splits: 7:11,7:14,7:12,7:13,7:03). And I had a 3miles interval of: 6:57,
6:56,6:52.
So before the race, I thought I could BQ this time and was thinking about 3:
30, but I did not plan to push too much. As the weather was told to be harsh
on the race morning, I am not sure what will be the result. Fortunately,
before the race, a few friends told me that the weather might not affect too
much and I should have some margin to still BQ. So I kept all those words
in my heart.
One big blessing for me of this race is to have a friend (Wenge) to pace me.
He was super considerate to carry jells, pick up water/Gatorade, and warn
me not to be too aggressive before mile 20. I felt good most of the time,
stopped a few times to lace up my shoes, and started to run close to my
planned tempo pace after mile 18.
After the mile 26 of pace of 7:23, as both Xiaolong and wenge run to the men
’s finish direction, I felt the most tired. I could see the finish line in
front of me, but I am not sure whether I could ever get there. Then I heard
the cheering “Xiaoli” there, I did not have any energy to answer, but I
felt I carried the voice to sprint to the finish. I saw the clock time of 3:
32:** (gun time). I was a little sad, but I am very happy.
Most of my friends knew how much I have wanted to run the Boston. I thought
I might cry after the moment early, but not yesterday. Everything looks
normal, just the life seems finer. On the way back to home last night, as I
looked out of the car window to look at the stars, I thought about the
night 3 years ago after my first Marathon to get back to College Station
from Dallas. I felt my hand warmer and my heart brighter than then, so I was
overwhelmed by the feeling of happiness.
Thank you to all my dear friends for having being with me during this
journey! |
