富士山馬拉松

Mt. Fuji Marathon 26 Nov 2023, my 43rd FM. Another bucket marathon list checked.

A breathtaking scenery with Mt Fuji is viewable for most of the route, plus the beautiful autumn foliage. The real scenery is much more beautiful than any Mt Fuji pictures that I've ever seen.
I like the always so enthusiastic volunteers and cheerleaders. And not to forget the exotic and delicious Japanese tip bits served at the water stations, which I couldn't help but stopped by to enjoy almost all of them.
I'm so grateful that I am still able to complete a full marathon with reasonable results. I'm feeling well post-marathon, no cramp and no excessive muscle pain. 

除了報名費太貴之外,這場富士山馬拉松幾乎沒有甚麼可挑剔的了。

我們環繞著富士山下的河口湖和西湖跑,天氣晴朗,皚皚白雪覆蓋的富士山不斷的在轉角間出現。巍巍大山竟然就在眼前,近得有點不真實,卻又美得讓人動容。

北國已是深秋,沿途的楓葉嫣紅似火。紅葉和白山交錯,形成強烈但又和諧的對比,這景色比我看過的所有富士山照片都還要優美。能在這樣的美景之中跑馬拉松,夫復何求?

但這場馬拉松並非是我最佳狀態,因為賽前已在日本玩了整個星期。吃得開心之餘,也把腰圍搞大了一圈,跑步時還能感覺到腰間的贅肉在愧疚的顫動著。

在寒冷天氣下跑步對我而言也是一大挑戰。既不能穿得太少,也不敢穿得太多。而刺骨寒風不斷吹來,把膀胱都冷得收縮。以為有尿意,膀胱內卻原來並沒什麼尿,結果白白浪費了兩、三分鐘上廁所。

馬拉松對於我來說都有其特殊意義,很感恩我還能繼續的跑著。每一場賽事我總是認真的訓練著、努力的奔跑著。即使跑得不快,也常常無法達到預定目標,但我盡力了,也就無悔了。而今已年過半百的我竟然還能比十多年前較年輕的自己跑得更快,我也非常知足了。
