Cliff1 BurgessThe Marathon Man

克里夫伯吉斯马拉松赛场上的老者

In 1993, Cliff Burgess was 55 years old. He was tired of his potbelly and vowed2 to start walking. Cliff hits the pavement in his suburban3 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岁的克里夫伯吉斯开始对自己的啤酒肚越来越厌烦,发誓要通过散步减肥。他的家位于得州小镇的郊外,他决定在附近的柏油路上散步。慢慢地,在街区里的行走,由一圈变成走了两圈。散步的感觉很好,但他知道自己的速度还能再快点。当体重有所下降时,他报名参加了5公里和10公里的比赛。不到一年,他进了圣安东尼奥马拉松队,心想把这种跑步当作首次马拉松比赛42公里(26.2英里)的训练。在比赛中,他感觉良好,冲过终点的速度比他预想的还要快。

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

他平均每年要参加15场马拉松比赛,一跑就是 6年。62岁那年,他跑完了第100场马拉松赛。

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场马拉松比赛并非最终目标。后来发现这15年来,他在芬兰、法国、罗马尼亚、中国、阿根廷、巴西等25个国家,以及美国差不多50个州里,都有参赛纪录。

"Nothing happens unless first we dream."

“除非我们梦想在先,否则一事无成。”
