Grizzly Peak Marathon DNF

I enrolled this race for marathon, and it was raining the night before race, and the course become very muddy. I got serious injured at mile 12 mud slop, struggled to limp back to finish line, couldn't proceed the second loop, so recorded as half Marathon. I reached mile 12 by 3:08, but limping back took very long time, end of finish line at 3:39. Because of muddy condition, mid marathon finisher finished at around 7 hours; in pass years, mid finisher finish around 6 hours.

I surely will come back to this one to finish it next year.

4/05(星期六)的Grizzly Peak是一個tough的半馬賽山道。前天晚上下了大雨, 早上大部份的路都乾了, 但太陽曬不到的地方還是很泥濘。我在沒受傷之前我跑了12哩路大約用了三小時十分鐘,最後一哩路中在一個泥濘的下坡中滑坡,拉傷了鼠蹊部大肌肉,完全沒法再跑,最後一哩路用了30分鐘一拐一瘸的走回去。
昨天到今天早上痛了一晚,連睡覺翻身都會痛到醒。今天早上晨練時間有試著跑兩步,馬上痛到想掉眼淚,於是又改成走的,跛了走了一哩花了25分鐘。全馬當然只能放棄了, 改為半馬告終。


隔天週日到教會是聖 餐主日,依例有醫治禱告。以往我沒有為跑馬過的肌肉酸痛請求醫治禱告的。因為習以為常的痛幾天就自己會好,但是這次是肌肉拉傷,而且太痛了到了身活不便的 地步,所以我就上去求醫治禱告。當禱告同工弟兄幫我禱告的時候,我也同心合意的求醫治。當短短不到3分鐘的禱告過去了以後,我馬上一個深蹲,再站起來都不 覺得痛(就兩個小時前還要兩手扶東西才能站起來)。教會結束後我小跑幾步,雖然還有些痛,但是我可以跑了。幾小時前還痛到想流淚不是嗎?
還有結束前的敬拜歌辭中有:禱告作的事,我的手不能作(腿?)。每一次我禱告,大山被挪移,道路被鋪平,使列國歸向祢。
以往跑馬,靠的是自己的身體和訓練,忽略了也同時要禱告求平安和幫助。如果神肯幫助我,我的道路必被鋪平;又怎麼會受傷呢
