In the vibrant Olympic season, on August 5, Jiayuan Community, Kaziwan Street, Midong District, organized a 100-person running group to "ignite" the Hongguang Mountain Scenic Area, from 5-year-old children to 68-year-old people, to take the steps of a healthy life and enjoy the happiness brought by sports!
At 8 o'clock in the morning, with the sound of the starting order, the contestants set off from the West Gate and started a 5.5-kilometer long-distance run around the scenic spot. They fight for physical strength, endurance and will, embrace nature in sports, and run happily in the greenery, becoming a beautiful flowing landscape in summer.
Fourteen-year-old Shen Tianyang finished first with a time of 24 minutes and 36 seconds, and he broke through himself to break the record for the fastest run he ever made. "With competition, there is more sense of hard work." Shen Tianyang said that every run is a relaxation, and I insist on using exercise to relieve the pressure of studying. ”
Gan Kun, a 39-year-old resident, is satisfied with his second place, and he has been running 100 times a year, which has improved his physical fitness and willpower. Gan Kun said: "It is really a difficult thing to get up early and run in the morning, I can't get up at first, I can't even hold on to 1 kilometer, and then I have cultivated perseverance and endurance in the persistence again and again, and I have a special sense of accomplishment when I can persist to 5 kilometers." ”
In addition to the younger players, some elderly residents are also actively involved, not to achieve a place but to enjoy the feeling of regaining their youth in sports.
Zhu Meilan, a 68-year-old resident, is the oldest runner in the race, and has participated in three marathons this year.
"Everyone runs together, the atmosphere is very good, and with young people, I feel younger when I exercise." Zhu Meilan said, it doesn't matter how fast or slow, my footsteps will not stop, if you want to live a long and healthy life, you should keep exercising.
"A good habit can benefit people for life, life is like a marathon, I am just racing against the speed of getting old." Tang Jihua, who has been running for 10 years, said. Shi Lin, Secretary of the Party Committee of Jiayuan Community, said that "national fitness" goes hand in hand with the Olympics to promote national health through national fitness. I hope that everyone will have a stronger body and feel the health and happiness brought by sports in the Olympic year.
