stretching muscles, moving joints, adjusting breathing... at 5:28 am on september 18, yingze street was still sleeping in the night. in front of the newly renovated taiyuan railway station, a group of running enthusiasts dressed in colorful sportswear were warming up before running. "i am now at the starting point of the taiyuan marathon. this is my running partner. we are going to start today's run!" a girl with a neat high ponytail smiled and recorded her daily life with her mobile phone.
her name is wang xueying, and she is an elementary school music teacher. since she participated in the taiyuan marathon for the first time in 2018, this year is her fifth taiyuan marathon.
"a few years ago, i suddenly had an idea that getting up early and exercising could reserve energy for the whole day, so i tried morning and night jogging. later, my friends asked me to sign up for the taiyuan marathon, and i accidentally opened the door to this sport." wang xueying recalled that she didn't expect that her first participation in the "taiyuan marathon" would make her gain a lot. there were grandmothers in their 80s, girls in wheelchairs, and children... they were in the same team and ran towards the same goal. "i can feel the vigorous vitality, and life should be like this!"
participating in the marathon for the first time brought wang xueying more emotions and reflections. running is not only a sport, but also a way to shape one's character. people who love running always have a positive and confident look on their faces. "every time i communicate with running enthusiasts, i can absorb a lot of positive energy. i also want to be that kind of person." so, with expectation and yearning, wang xueying signed up for the taiyuan marathon again. "the most impressive thing about the second time i participated was that when i was out of breath, those spectators who had never met me before cheered me on loudly and gave me a thumbs up. at that moment, i was full of strength."
after participating in the taiyuan marathon twice, wang xueying's running has changed from a sporadic interest to a persistent passion, becoming a part of her life. she began to systematically learn relevant knowledge and carefully formulate a weekly exercise plan. so far, she has run nearly 5,400 kilometers. the short videos she recorded during this period have attracted many running enthusiasts, with the highest number of views for a single video reaching 284,000.
"more and more netizens are communicating with me through messages and private messages. new runners ask me for some tips on how to get started; experienced runners discuss the standardization of movements with me. what makes me feel most accomplished is that many netizens from other places are attracted by the scenery of taiyuan in my videos and are ready to participate in the taiyuan marathon or travel." wang xueying could not hide her pride. "look, these netizens from other places have left messages to tell me that they have also signed up for this year's taiyuan marathon. let's meet at the race!"
run, feel the speed of the wind, the collision of breathing and heartbeat, and make every second refreshing. on september 22, wang xueying will run on the track of the 2024 taiyuan marathon with full energy. wang yunfei and di jiaweiwen/photo
