In our school, there are a group of energetic runners, especially professor He Runyu, the “Capital Health Ambassador”. Under his promotion and the support of the School Union, we organized our first “Professor Running Group”. They all want to strengthen their body through running and fall in love with it. During the process, they surprisingly found out that they always go beyond themselves. This year, Professor Li Tieke, Liu Mingzhu and Zhou Xiaoguang have taken part in Beijing Marathon on September 17th.
The competition began at 7.30 a.m. and the whole route shows the understanding of the city Beijing, as a center of economics, history, education and culture. Our three professors all completed the game successfully. Professor Liu has achieved her first marathon and Professor Zhou has broken his own best record of marathon and Professor Li Tieke also completed his 6th times of marathon.
It shows that marathon is actually not far from ordinary people and running gives us happiness and health.
