村上春樹太有名,提起既能寫作、又長於跑步的,不易想到第二人。
這一、兩個禮拜才曉得還有這一位 ... Michael Collins:

訪問中多講寫作,(相對)少談跑步;否則,可以開開眼界,看看歐美角度的「關於跑步...」。

典型的我、不像我的我
想過上巴士,不只一次。
毅力、堅持,從來非我所長,半途而廢,較似典型的我。
剛跑過20K左右,的確是半途,就順應本性想放棄。
只是,教練從來沒有教過,主辦單位的說明小冊好像也未曾提及:
不設車站的賽道上,如何登上巴士?
一邊步行,一邊想辦法,一邊看著一輛一輛巴士駛過。
事後得知的答案:比賽時,巴士就是的士,揚手即停。(恍然~)
登車方法沒有想到,反而記起前一天電郵跟教練說 如果中途足患不發作,可以完成賽事。
想到這裡,又再次跑起來。
答應了別人的事,就會做到。那個實在不像我。
之後,那個不像我的我,就在比賽時間終結前15分鐘,完成首次馬拉松。

在下跑步的荒謬事一兩件
跑步的人講究PB(Personal Best),跟上班追求高薪沒有兩樣,都是百份百所謂無可厚非。
當然,你說是為了興趣就更(不可思議地但也難以置信地)多了一份超然。
為興趣返工?我好像已聽到了「嘩」。
大多數人的PB都在比賽時取得,這是另一無可厚非。
有氣有力,都該留給有正式紀錄的時候。
No (Champion)chip, no ranking.
更準確是:No chip, no PB.
在下的十公里PB,卻是在某晚練習時誕生,前因是日間工作受了點氣,後果是不跑不快,最終成了不快不跑,怒氣沖沖的創下個人紀錄。哈。

人生賽跑
人生如賽跑不是新鮮的比喻。
兩者有何相似則是各取所需:甚麼「只要堅持不懈,總能達到目標」、「過程比結果重要」、「成敗取決於起步一刻」之類。
對不起,真的沒有這些體會。
本來決定了自己該怎麼走,但走著走著,東張西望,自自然然追隨了別人的步伐,忘了自己最初的一套。
這方面,反而覺得人生(或許該說是在下的人生)跟賽跑有點共通。

在橋上
Not quite sure:
how many bridges are there linking Tsing Yi Island with other places?
Anyway, I was jogging on one of them yesterday.
What I saw on the bridge ...
Nina Tower:

(turning around ...) Maritime Square:

(still turning around ...) the various housing estates along the shore:

(and finally ...) Rambler Channel:

Then I reached Riviera Garden, looking back at Tsing Yi Island.

This is an official jogging trail. Looks good wor~.

Where there is a will, ...
J, my runmate, asked me whether it is possible to get to the "seaside".
I didn't know.
I didn't even know how to find out the answer (say, from Internet or from other friends).
So, I took the simple but straightforward way - I went to the site and explored it myself.
The answer is: +ve.
It is just one-minute walk away from the station.
Well, there is a signpost which seems to tell "no admission". But who cares.
One thing to watch out: the track is more for cars than for people. So, do pay attention to cars coming from behind. My personal experience: I ran for around 30mins and only saw one van travelling on the track.
So, here is the starting point:

Looking in the other direction:

If you live somewhere nearby, you may even come here by bus.
Here is the bus stop.

So, happy jogging, as always. :)

短衫短褲,西九龍寒風中奔跑
昨日說是除夕,一年最後一天,但幾個個人的第一次在這天發生。
西九龍海濱長廊聽了好一陣,卻還是昨晚首次看見,還帶點誤打誤撞:問路,回答的人不是盲的,但還是把我指引到一片荒涼的長廊入口。
除夕的慈善接力長跑,也是首度參加。
常說西九龍這區多屏風樓,這刻恨不得它們都是Transformers,有腳有輪,過來包圍在場地四邊。
很冷,很大風,2007最後一夜。
我,短衫短褲,在西九龍的寒風中奔跑。
