Cliff BurgessThe Marathon Man

克里夫伯吉斯馬拉松賽場上的老者

In 1993, Cliff Burgess was 55 years old. He was tired of his potbelly and vowed to start walking. Cliff hits the pavement in his suburban Texas town. A walk around the block turns into twice around the block. Walking feels good, but he knew he can pick up some speed. The weight starts to come off as he signs up for 5km and 10km races. In less than a year, he entered in the San Antonio marathon thinking of it as a training run in preparation for his first marathon-42km (26.2 miles). He feels good during the race, and he crossed the finish line faster than expected.

1993年，55歲的克里夫伯吉斯開始對自己的啤酒肚越來越厭煩，發(fā)誓要通過散步減肥。他的家位于得州小鎮(zhèn)的郊外，他決定在附近的柏油路上散步。慢慢地，在街區(qū)里的行走，由一圈變成走了兩圈。散步的感覺很好，但他知道自己的速度還能再快點。當體重有所下降時，他報名參加了5公里和10公里的比賽。不到一年，他進了圣安東尼奧馬拉松隊，心想把這種跑步當作首次馬拉松比賽42公里(26.2英里)的訓練。在比賽中，他感覺良好，沖過終點的速度比他預想的還要快。

Averaging 15 marathons per year, he completed his 100th marathon six years later at the age of 62.

他平均每年要參加15場馬拉松比賽，一跑就是 6年。62歲那年，他跑完了第100場馬拉松賽。

Reaching 100 marathons isn't the final goal. He finds himself in Finland, France, Romania, China, Argentina, Brazil, 25 other countries, and nearly all of the 50 states of the USA in a record 15 years.

跑完100場馬拉松比賽并非最終目標。后來發(fā)現(xiàn)這15年來，他在芬蘭、法國、羅馬尼亞、中國、阿根廷、巴西等25個國家，以及美國差不多50個州里，都有參賽紀錄。

"Nothing happens unless first we dream."

“除非我們夢想在先，否則一事無成。”
