生命颂


Haven't been writing for sometime... It's not a case of out of sight, out of mind! But rather botak runs out of ideas :((

哎。。。

今 年的戈壁长征(http://www.4deserts.com/gobimarch/) 有个31岁的美国青年Nicholas Kruse在第3天的比赛中不幸中署去世,
对此表哀悼。朋友北窗也参与此赛而与nicholas 有数回擦肩而过短暂交泽。看了北窗2010戈壁长征回忆- “生命颂”与“反思” http://www.douban.com/note/81263823/ 更激发我要参加2012戈壁长征的决心,就让戈壁长征成为我人生百马的中途站。

去年跑了11只马,真tmd可用越跑越慢,越跑越痛,越跑越辛苦,越跑越胖来形容
说是挑战自己的积极限...其实心里很明白是虚荣心,不认输,不认老的病态.
今年学了比较科学的evolution running 与chi running, 体重轻了,腰围减了,跑的相对
惬意,于是重燃我的5050梦

生命是短暂的,在体力,经济许可下我们应该在有生之年让它更灿烂,更沸腾吧!

Road is long...
SO WHAT!
So just run lor.

2008 :50岁生日那天跑了50公里也开始了我的5050梦- 50岁开始跑50个马拉松。那时的单纯想法是1年2马跑到75岁。
  
2009 :在“损”友莫汉的"怂恿"下开始拼业绩-高唱1月1马,还不知天高地厚把5050梦升级到要人生百马。10。18北马(第8只马)很侥幸挤进5小时关门,1星期后的新加坡northface 50km 越野在痛苦与沮丧的纠结中勉强完成(8小时37分)。12.5的新马5:38更是我悲痛的waterloo.

  
2010 -
“卧痰尝薪”,“发粪涂墙” 在新的一年要改造一个新新的我。技术方案有莫汉的evolution running 与chi running, 塑身方案- 饮食避油炸改清淡。 体质方案 - x-training 游泳加健身房。
2010年- 新新的botak,新新的5050梦,新新的人生百马。

Don't ask me why I run? Ask why not you run!!!


Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves

A PSALM OF LIFE
-
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

TELL me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream ! —
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.

Life is real ! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal ;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way ;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.

In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle !
Be a hero in the strife !

Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant !
Let the dead Past bury its dead !
Act,— act in the living Present !
Heart within, and God o'erhead !

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time ;

Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate ;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

生命颂 ——郎费罗
(翻译-北窗)

  别在幽怨的诗句里沉吟:
   “生命不过是一场幻梦!”
  灵魂嗜睡,就等于死去,
   真命与表相其实不同。

   生命是真切的!生命是庄严的!
   它的归宿决不是荒坟;
  “你本是尘土,必归于尘土”,
   这是指躯壳,而非灵魂。

   我们注定的命运与道路
   不是享乐,亦非受苦;
  而在于行动,在每个明天
   都跨越今朝,迈出新步。

  韶光流逝,创造无穷;
  此心如鼙鼓般闷声敲动,
  脉搏是热血在时刻奔涌
  哪怕正大步迈向坟地送终。

  世界是一片辽阔的战场,
  人生是到处扎寨安营;
  莫学那听人驱策的哑畜,
  做一个威武善战的英雄!
 
  别指望将来,无论有多可爱!
  更要把已逝的过去掩埋!
  行动吧--趁着活生生的现在!
  胸中有赤心,头上有真宰!
  
  伟人的生平启示我们:
  此生能够活得高尚,
  离去时留下足迹一行,
  在时间的平沙上;

  也许我们中有位兄弟
  航行在生命的茫茫大海,
  涉险沉船,濒临绝望,
  偶遇这行足迹会振作起来。

  那么,让我们起身干吧,
  对任何命运都要敢于担待;
  不断进取,永远追求,
  既躬身耕作,亦壮志满怀。
