i am a runner returning from the southern marathon without missing home</
The phoenix soars to great heights, but it does not rest without the parasol tree. How can excellent runners not participate in the Nanjing Marathon?
The solemn, long, and ethereal bell of Dabao'en Temple accompanied the footsteps of the runners, giving me a sense of temporal disorientation.
This is the most sincere affection of Nanjing people! The civil and military officials, palace maids, and soldiers lined up to welcome us made me feel as if I had traveled back in time to the Ming Dynasty five hundred years ago.This ancient city wall, with its many legends, has sheltered Jinling City for over five hundred years, enduring countless storms and even the baptism of war. Merchants, officials, scholars, and workers have come and gone before its gates, but today, for the first time, it witnessed marathon runners, and we inadvertently made history.
Whenever friends visit Nanjing for the first time, I always take them to Qinhuai Renjia to enjoy a set of the Qinhuai Eight Delicacies—sixteen Nanjing snacks. With the sound of paddles and the shadows of lanterns, the painted boats gliding on the water, only then can one truly experience Nanjing.Only after running past the Confucius Temple can one be considered a true Jinling Marathon runner!
Along this road, one 'travels' through the Six Dynasties, Ming, Qing, Republic of China, and modern times. The 1800 years of historical civilization and modern culture blend and coexist on this 1800-meter street.The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the metropolis of ten dynasties, palaces, and gardens, official residences and institutions—all passed under our feet as we ran, like flipping through the pages of history. The banners on the city walls change, but the land beneath our feet remains the same.
By this time, I was drenched. The southeast wind blowing through Zhongshan Gate felt refreshing. At fifteen kilometers, my body had fully adapted to the rhythm of running, making it the most comfortable moment of the marathon.
Of course, I am happier than these out-of-town runners because I have also run by Xuanwu Lake adorned with emerald green willows in spring, with lotus leaves stretching to the sky and fragrant buds blooming, and with dragonflies flying over the branches. I have also run by Xuanwu Lake covered in dense snow, where it sheds its charm for a different kind of beauty.
By this time, nearly 30 kilometers in, my energy was noticeably waning. The four consecutive tunnels on Jiangdong Middle Road, with their ups and downs, were mentally exhausting. If the organizers could change the route to a flat side road, it would be great. But then I thought: if the route were changed, cars on Jiangdong Middle Road could only go straight and not turn right, causing inconvenience for the residents of Hexi. The entire city of Nanjing has closed many roads for the marathon, causing much inconvenience. As runners, climbing a few slopes to reduce the trouble for the residents is not a big deal. People should always be tolerant and understanding of each other.
In the last few kilometers, I kept talking to myself: keep running for a while, if you can't, walk a bit to relax.
